Biased sources want you to believe Snopes.com is biased.

Five years on OPP has shown that posters believe in Snopes only when it aligns with their viewpoint, and dismiss it when it doesn't.

Liberty Tree

Same as any other source

Yep, Tom

You, Liberty Tree and Richard Rowland figured it out.

I've never used it as a source. I'm innocent.

When the subject of innocence comes up, I can't imagine your name entering the discussion.

I only use it on the rare occasions when it doesn't tilt left. Snopes, Politifact, most of the "fact checkers" are simply pushing their own agenda under the pseudo-cover of a non-existent "impartiality."

Outside of the fact that Smedley bears an uncanny resemblance to the infamous Snidely Whiplash...yeah, I would agree.
