Quote:This, and people fail to understand this. Snopes isn't fact checking objective questions. It isn't an algorithim they are solving. Especially when it comes to politics, it isn't a 1 or a 0. Snopes is naturally going to have bias. Just like Fox News, Breitbart, CNN, Politifact, and other news outlets.

My main issue is when websites LIKE Snopes and Politifact act like their poop don't stank and they convince the public they are neutral.

Exactly. I would go further to say that just because a website like snopes or politifact says something, it isn't so. However, people buy into it.

Most people refuse to understand logic (1/0, true/false, high/low, etc.).

There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
