Snopes falsely says it’s a “total falsehood” that Black Lives protestors didn't block ambulance

Snopes falsely says it’s a “total falsehood” that Black Lives Matter protestors in Memphis, Tennessee, caused a child to delay getting emergency medical care

According to this report from WREG, this report from WMC, this report from WIS, and this report from NBC, on July 11, 2016, in Memphis, Tennessee, Black Lives Matter protestors blocked an ambulance that was trying to get to a child, after the same Black Lives Matter protestors had blocked the same child’s parents’ car from taking him to the hospital.

However, despite all of this evidence from multiple reliable sources, snopes claims that the incident is a “total falsehood.”

How did snopes manage to do this? By adding on false information to the original story, such as the false claim that the child needed a “heart transplant,” as well as the false claim that the child had “expired.” Those claims were, indeed, false. But no reliable source ever made those claims in the first place.

For snopes to label the entire incident as a “total falsehood” is to say that the entire incident never happened. And that claim by snopes is the real falsehood.

Snopes is funded by Soros.

It fools a lot of people sadly.

Snopes falsely says

You could end the statement right there and be right most of the time.

Snopes is a Liar website ran by left wing kooks who do not tell the truth.

From Wikipedia:

Snopes is run by Barbara and David Mikkelson, a couple from California who married after meeting on the newsgroup alt.folklore.urban. The couple also founded the San Fernando Valley Folklore Society, and were credited as the owners of the site until 2005. The site is organized according to topic and includes a messageboard where questionable stories and pictures may be posted.

Most of the write-ups are done but by Barbara “She’s for Obama” Mikkelson.

Last I checked a few months ago, the Hussein Heads at Snopes were putting out 400+ articles PER DAY in support of their god in the white mosque.

I see Snopes do this all the time. They’ll label something “mostly false” based solely on one false statement in a story, while all the rest are true. Snopes is a liberal outfit, pretty much like Politifact.

Headline should be corrected to remove misleading double negative.

"How did snopes manage to do this? By adding on false information to the original story,...."

That's Standard Operating Procedure when it comes to liberal causes on Snopes.

The greatest threat this nation currently faces is the ability of the Left to mislead the public.

“The greatest threat this nation currently faces is the ability of the Left to mislead the public.”

Followed closely behind by “conservatives” willing to believe Big Media headlines without question, especially when not DIRECTLY related to politics.

You're right. That was my error. I made that error when I was trying to fit the heading within the limit that is allowed here.

However, the full heading in the actual article is correct.
