Snopes.com has a left wing bias on many questions.

This site’s also pretty good. FYU - the folks at Snopes are liberals.

In the spirit of teaching a man to fish..

I googled "true or not" and the first hit was snopes.com.

Of course Snopes but there is factcheck.org. I also like straightdope.com for its entertainment value.

I have to correct everyone here. People used to think the website you mean was snopes.com, but that turned out to be just an urban legend.
