Snopes caught lying for Hillary Clinton!
Loses all credibility.
WASHINGTON (PNN) - October 3, 2016 - Snopes has been caught lying again, proving that it has a political and partisan agenda and it is willing to mislead and deceive its readers in order to advance the cause of Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party establishment. Earlier this year, Correct the Record, a pro-Clinton Super PAC, admitted they are spending millions of dollars to employ an army of trolls to “correct” and “push back” against Internet users who criticize Clinton.
Correct The Record’s Barrier Breakers project admitted in a press release that it pays people to pretend to be Clinton supporters, and claims that thousands of unsuspecting social media users have already been addressed by the PAC’s mercenary social media warriors - with the promise that many more will be “corrected” in the near future. Given that Snopes entered the political fact checking game around the same time, and began publishing more political articles than ever before; most of which display a clear Clinton bias - it is legitimate to ask if Snopes is also on the Correct the Record payroll.
Ethics Alarms has been tracking the increasing political bias exhibited by Snopes, once the definitive “Urban Legends” web source to identify false stories on the Internet, e-mail hoaxes, and other pollution of public information.
The website has made the disastrous decision to wade into political topics and to hire some new social justice warriors and wanna-be Democrat Party operatives to cover them, resulting in the site becoming a bad imitation of PolitiFact.
The disturbing trend really established itself this month, but it was in evidence earlier. For example, Snopes rushed to defend Hillary Clinton when the story of her defense of a child rapist was used to smear her. (Ethics Alarms explained, correctly, unlike Snopes, what was unethical about the attacks on Clinton - all defendants deserve a zealous defense, no matter what the charge, and a lawyer isn’t endorsing or supporting a client’s crimes by doing her professional duty.)
