OK, If I buy the Snopes.com bias does anyone know any other "myth debunking" sites?

Well the article cites TruthOrFiction.com as a source when discussing the Hillary Clinton coverage, so it might be a start.
This article doesn't mean that Snopes isn't useful, it is just a warning to be careful when it involves political analysis. Perhaps the best approach is to not treat Snopes as the authority on a topic, just another source, to be viewed with healthy skepticism until corraborated elsewhere. Just like with Free Republic or any other site.

The participants of AFU also maintain a large web site at www.urbanlegends.com. Unfortunately, it's only sporadically updated.

You are on one of those sites right now.
Myths don't last very long, here on FR! Our fellow FReepers are the BEST at wading through the daily 'stack of stuff' and finding the real facts.

Why do you need any organization....I realized long ago it was a worthless site...I found it to be too bias and figured they were part of the American haters of the left. Also, I am not interested in supporting them...everytime you click on their site they make money.
You can easily find what is real and just bs by doing your own searches. I've been doing that for a very long time.
