"Slate also noted that the conspiracy theory version of Rich's death was lacking in both evidence and sense, yet WikiLeaks has since fanned the flames of speculation by offering a $20,000 reward for information about Rich's killer . . ."

Snopes is a website run by a husband and wife ( both libtards ) out of their home. The husband does the website and the wife is the “researcher”. She bases her conclusions on “consensus” on the web- that is, she will look up an issue and if the majority of comments or websites declare it is false ( with no actual proof), she declares the issue false. Snopes is not a research organization ( though the media gives the impression that is exactly what it is ) with people on the payroll that delve into an issue and know something about what they are researching.

I'm always amazed at how much credibility they are given, like their answers come directly from Mount Olympus...

ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO SNOPES CALLED THE NEW TESTAMENT AN ABERRATION.

THAT SHOULD SAVE YOU TIME DECIDING

It didn't take long to see that snopes has a peculiar tunnel vision.

Aimed exclusively and directly at the progressive, Dim camp...

I just ignore them now.

Not shooting. Just surprised, esp. based on your solid posting history.

Mr. Chips, I can't believe you have been here since 1998 and say you didn't know anything about Snopes.

For years I have read comment after comment about don't believe anything Snopes says. I ignore those comments and still check things out on Snopes. Like today going around on Facebook is a picture of Obama dressed like a black panther holding a gun. I knew that picture looked familiar but NOT of Obama. Someone had photo shopped Obama's face into the real picture. Snopes showed it as being FAKE.

The holding a gun part should have been enough to show you it was a fake. However a picture of Obama as one of the Village People would be tougher to disprove. Or at least it would fall into the category of fake, but accurate.

I find it curious that out of the zillions of government and private sector things that have been hacked in this admin, the only time they can say who hacked it AND who leaked the emails is when it happens to fit a narrative that helps them.

I am suspicious of the blame the Russians approach the DNC is taking to say the least.

On the other hand considering the amount of leverage due to the illegal stuff that the DNC does as routine business if it was open the Russians probably DID hack it, along with every other country in the world.

But who HACKED it and who LEAKED it are two different things.

However, Assauge offering to pay for info leading to the arrest of the murderer of top DNC insider Rich is closer than Mr Assauge has ever gotten to naming a source.

Snopes is terminally leftist. And they lie.

In the "Was Omar Mateen's father invited to a hillary speech?" the author, the woman who seems to do half of their work, LIED, and claimed he was not invited. She even provided a video from a local florida station as so called evidence. If anyone actually watched the video, mateen's father makes the claim himself at 2:00 in the video.

Either the author is lazy or overworked, thus sloppy., or she is lying.

I remember when the 700 club did an in depth report on Southern Poverty Law Center and it was one angry left wing lawyer Atheist guy funded by foundations working out of his house. Amazing that these organizations have any merit given them.

Well they are Jewish

At least he is which might explain why they view the New Covenant as an aberration

And yes

They are certainly leftist and editorialize their crank findings

Don’t mean to be defending them but they are sure not Pentecostals Gone Wild

OK.

I'll type this slowly.

ANYTHING political by Snopes is garbage.
