“Snopes is awesome”

When people don't investigate memes before they repost, and end up re-posting lies, there only defense is to call the facts "fake news".

“Nothing really important being checked.”

Thought this site might be informative, but they just don't fact check anything of importance. Usually just social media BS and tin hat stuff. Not for the serious reader.

Snopes may once have been considered a somewhat reliable 'fact checking' site for those interested in learning the truth in a sea of media bias, however by 2022 has become nothing more than any other mainstream media site pumping out the mainstream approved narratives and vehemently condemning any one who wishes to have an open discussion on current and past political, social, social and historical items as an 'evil conspiracy theorist spreading disinformation.' Time and time again it ignores clear inconsistency's and facts in favor of gatekeeping mainstream 'truth' even as the truth changes to accommodate the new narratives.

Snopes claims to be a fact checking site. This is false.
I would trust Snopes to confirm or deny an urban legend. Beyond that, they are wroght with opinions and outright lies. All in all, a terrible fact checking site.
Something that would give them a smidgen of credibility is if people were able to comment on and rate their 'fact-checking,' but unfortunately they don't allow any outside input. It's either their opinion or nothing.

Snopes is a leftist propaganda tool. Do not use, ever. Most recent example is the attack by Antifa thugs on Rep. Mace's home. Snopes stated it was a rumor however there's an active investigation for that attack and other similar in her neighborhood. Do not use Snopes as they lie, and skew the facts to fit their political ideology. In other words, they are FAKE.

That's what Snopes "fact checks" are. They have a hidden agenda that isn't so hidden when you start checking the 'fact checker'. I believe when they first started, they were actually unbiased. But times have changed. They were likely seduced by big money from somewhere.
All I can say is, "If you believe anything Snopes offers up as 'fact', then I have this great bridge I'd like to sell you... CHEAP! On sale now. Gorgeous orange. Call now, such a deal!
Snopes. Pathetic site.

Snopes has clearly gone from a trustworthy source to an indoctrination source. It's very clear, unfortunately, that their analysis is completely biased towards a specific agenda and things that are 100% true are now stated as false by both Snopes and Fact Check. It's sad to see that as soon as money comes into the picture, publications sell out.

You could basically just believe the opposite of everything they say, and you'd be better off. They often respond to new inquiries so quickly that there is no way they actually did any research. Snopes is just a completely biased propaganda parrot.

Headline says it all. The "owner" left his wife for his side piece; now they're all fighting for control of the service. How does a two person team have time to effectively do this MUCH research and this quickly? THEY DON'T. It's clearly deep state (CIA) owned & operated.

I tested this website with several scenarios in the news and it is obviously a liberal site. Do not use for fact checking if you want the truth.

Lame Stream Media controlled! Try and find the real "truth". You are hurting this country by only reporting what your investors are wanting censored. Anybody ever wonder why the "Home Alone" kid went completely off the rails for a number of years? Anybody ever wonder why Hollywood and the Global elite are so hell bent on getting rid of Trump? Anybody ever wonder why Epstein was allowed to own an Island that was dedicated to the apetite of this global satanic network of pedophiles?

I used to fact check with this biased tool until I found out they were hiding or twisting facts that I knew were true. Shame on them for misguiding the public and causing so much damage to free speech. I hope someone bigger could stop them from censoring different opinions. They are fake. They lie and twist the truth. They censor others opinions.

I refer to the recent claims of 'false' regarding the comparison between Honduras and Switzerland's homicide rates. Honduras with heavy gun restrictions having 69 TIMES the amount of homicides committed than in Switzerland, is a FACT! What used to be a great source of unbiased information is now on such a slanted bias for liberal propaganda. Zero credibility!

The political bias is so obvious it's ridiculous. I think they have become a mouthpiece for the DNC and affiliated big business. Search for yourself to find the misinformation Snopes spreads.

I read a snopes review from a court case where a whistle blower states that the deaths from the Covid Vaccine was incorrect. She filed a statement under penalty of perjury. Snopes said they reviewed the lawyer and the woman and dont believe its legit. The hilarious thing is that the court case has not begun. They have Nothing to go by. However instead of being honest and saying the "verdict" is out still and we dont know, they said it was a false claim.
Its 100% not reliable.

Horrible source for anything but DNC propaganda, 1 star is overstating its credibility. They started their website 'Snopes' about 13 years ago. After a few years it began gaining popularity as people believed it to be unbiased and neutral. But over the past couple of years people started asking questions when 'Snopes' was proven wrong in a number of their conclusions. There were also criticisms the Mikkelsons were not really investigating and getting to the 'true' bottom of various issues, but rather asserting their beliefs in controversial issues

Snopes will tie themselves in knots to support or defend Democratic talking points. Before sighting Snopes, be careful to read their entire entry to be sure you will not be embarrassed by their logic. The site still does ok for non-political "Urban Legend" type topics, but if politics is involved, use with extreme caution.

SNOPES SOLD OUT TO GREED AND SHALLOWNESS AS THEY LOST THEIR VALUES AND FACT FINDING. NOW THEY POST WHATEVER WILL COVER-UP STORIES AND FLAWED REPORTING.

Tip for consumers:
This is a scam site and no longer trustworthy for any information.

Snopes has gone on the attack against the Babylon Bee. They are a satire site along the lines of the onion. Unfortunately, they have made the fatal mistake of identifying as a Christian satire site. So snopes has determined they are really a 'fake news' site and must be condemned. Snopes is nothing more than a political hack.

Snopes is a fake "fact finding" website that has no tolerance for facts that oppose or debunks their agenda and/or opinion, thus they label all opposing facts as "fake news"

Many reports that have been proven Snopes will still come up with ways to say its not true. Snopes is just an extension of the mainstream media. Not Trusted!

They want you to believe what they believe. On other things they don't want you to know the truth. They are almost as bad as CNN.

Snopes used to be the go-to website to debunk the various urban legends that run around the internet like mosquitoes in August. It is still somewhat passable for non-political myths. When it comes to politics, it's biased - it ignores many true conservative "myths", ostensibly to avoid having to declare them true. It rates as false many inconclusive issues. It's actually very sad.
