Snopes and Guns

[44 AMP]

The reputation, reliability, and credibility of anyone passing themselves off as "fact checkers" is 100% dependent on their accuracy, in ALL things.

Any group, of any political leaning that fails the standard should not be considered a trustworthy source.

Snopes is a biased resource. They are often just plain wrong.

am reminded of the phrase, "sometimes, even a blind monkey finds a banana.."

Even though there are matters where their process is "spot on" and verifiable by independent sources, when you get caught "lying to the jury in the court of public opinion" (and, they have been), your credibility, about everything, goes in the crapper.
