Funny – fact checker Snopes said in the past that a Covid lab origin was a conspiracy theory, then one of their fact checkers denies they ever said that.
Snopes is a “fact checking” web site, also known for a co-founder who wrote fake articles for the site and plagiarized content from others, which now fact checks a social media post, finds most of it largely correct, and then labels the post “false”. They relied, in part, on a CDC report that is easily seen to have cherry picked data to produce a misleading, if not active disinformation report. But Snopes does not fact check the obvious deficiencies in the CDC report.
Snopes has just destroyed its own reputation. Their co-founder was plagiarizing dozens of articles from elsewhere, plus writing fake columns and article on the site under a pseudonym. I may no longer link to Snopes except to note that Snopes is now officially an Internet misinformation service.
Snopes continues its war on satire.
Snopes falls for it again and fact checks a satirical web site that prominently says it is “Fake news you can trust”. Seriously Snopes?
