If you are looking for facts you are more likely to get them from Snope Dog if you can get his attention in between bong hits.   This played out earlier in the week with the Pet the Pussy fiasco between Zsa Zsa and Johnny Carson.

If one portrays them self as the end all of knowledge you can damn well bet the opposite is the case no matter what political or philosophical background you come from.

So are we saying as VRCC members we no longer accept fact checks from Snopes? I'm for that because i have known snopes to be wrong on many different occasions and do not trust them one bit.

Just another bottom feeding website that is cashing in by pandering to the vast numbers of child like citizens who reside in the "Trophies just for Participating" generation....Snopes, Slate, Salon, Huffington Post, Politico etc.etc.
Perception is reality+Lies that are told a thousand times=Truth.

Like so many source, if you take everything they print as guaranteed truth you will be as some point misled.  People have differing perspectives.  The same situation looks one way to one person and entirely different to someone else.  To some degree everyone has an agenda in their communications.

I have no problem using Snopes.  I do take what they say with a grain of salt and bother to read through the explanation of how they arrived at their conclusion.

Absolute truth comes only from one Source.
