I have seen a pattern in how snopes gets a false rating on stuff they don’t want people to know is true. They find a version of the true story that was botched...that got some facts wrong or added parts that weren’t real. Then instead of rating the real story they rate the botched one as false.
Yes. Well described.
Another is to yes the term “mostly false” which means in fact it is true but a bunch of extraneous nonsense that may have been associated with it is called false.
That’s what they did with Hillary defending and laughing about the rapist of the 12 year old.
