What do y'all think of Snopes as far as reliability, accuracy, truthfulness?

Like Mythbusters, they don't always get it right.
They are probably 95% to 99% correct.

They've never seen a liberal indictment that they can't/won't mitigate (at a minimum).
They can't say "we don't know". Same as most other media outlets that haven't gotten over themselves.

well yeah, hard nosed conservatives typically hate fact checking tbh
fact checks are good when it supports them, and they're liberally biased when against

Yes they can. Those articles are tagged "Undetermined"

Snopes is a dishonest liberal front. James O'Keefe wrote a column about it on Breitbart.

I've noticed a few over the years. None of it stuck in my memory.
Are you claiming they are 100% accurate?

Good thing that's only conservatives. I was under the impression (falsely it seems) that confirmation bias is a bipartisan phenomena.
People are generally lazy as fuck and much more inclined to accept a global source for truth than to do their own legwork.

I'm not making a claim; you are.
As usual, I'll disregard your claim.

It is pretty funny that snopes was a non-political, fun mythbusting site until this election when it magically turned into a liberal lie machine.
Fun site to check when bored, not to be taken seriously.

About like how Trump was the Clinton's best friend and a great man until he ran against her then he became Hitler 2.0.

:lol here's trump saying bill's controversy was "totally unimportant" and that his impeachment was "nonsense"
http://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2015/12/29/donald-trump-bill-clinton-lewinsky-unimportant.cnn
:lol and here's trump's own quote from another interview (source below)
“I don’t necessarily agree with his victims. His victims are terrible. He is really a victim himself. But he put himself in that position.”

Follow this and try to keep up. It's known already that Trump and Clinton were friends before the election. We're talking about how the public sees it. You are talking about how they see each other (which doesn't matter).

lol no
Trump has been famous for a long long time.
Do you think the comment about Snopes pertains to how the Donald or the Clintons feel about it?
It's about how the general public feels about it, how partisan politics causes people to redefine their worldview based on bias.
Try to keep up Philo.

Snopes does a pretty good job of sifting through the bullshit.
It is a go-to source for debunking.

Conservatives tend to be allergic to facts. They like their warm cocoon of confirmation bias, and tend to react violently when confronted with things that poke holes in cherished beliefs.
