Snopes Issues Pre-Approval Of All Statements Made During Tonight's Democratic Debate
The Babylon Bee ^ | July 30, 2019

U.S.—With the Democratic primary debates in full swing, many fact-checking websites are preparing to review candidates’ statements for accuracy. Thankfully, Snopes, the most unbiased fact-checking website ever, has found a way to expedite their evaluation process.

Since their original founding in 1957 by the KGB, Snopes has gained a reputation for objectively reporting what someone’s secret motivations probably were, and what they probably really meant when they said something. More recently, they have perfected the art of determining whether a satirical article is hilarious, left-leaning comedy or divisive, conservative-leaning fake news.

As part of their ongoing goal of being able to rush to judgment as quickly as possible, Snopes published a pre-approval of all future statements made by candidates during the Democratic debates.

“While we understand there may be some disagreements among progressive candidates on certain issues, we know that nobody who shares our worldview would ever say anything factually untrue,” Snopes explains in their article.

Snopes also clarified that in the event a candidate does say anything that sounds untrue/conservative, they will automatically conclude that the individual had pure intentions and meant something completely different. As a very last resort, they may change a particular rating to “mixed,” assuming some context was missing.

At publishing, Snopes had also released a fact-check for all future statements by President Trump, rating them all as “False.”

As Sheldon Cooper might say: That’s funny. Because it’s true.

Since their original founding in 1957 by the KGB,

False. They are older than that, as shown by their original job as Fact Cheka. :-)

The Democrat narrative site Snopes will go crazy over this; however, this article is so good that it deserves a Honkler.

"When Snopes was founded in 1957 by the KGB," LOL

That calls for a Bozo:


Better to be wanted by the police than not wanted at all.
