Is snopes even credible anymore?
King Tøny:
I notice snopes loves to cherry pick arguments.
Snopes makes a claim that claim X is false. When in reality the controversy is about claim Y. Yet for some reason Snopes goes out of its way to only focus and try to debunk claim X.
A claim no one is even questioning about.
they are purposely manipulating the system.

MOSTLY FALSE
As long as their philosophy is "if anyone has ever said something untrue about a story, the entire story is untrue", they're fake. You can discredit quite literally anything if your criteria for truth is that incredibly strict.
Tactical Nuke:
the problem isn't that snopes isn't credible, it's that the people who are trying to root out fake news by hiring companies to bury it think it is
PhantOS:
almost every news source that isnt loving PBS or unbiased news dot com cherry picks their arguments. its called slant.
if you want real cherrypicking, visit breitbart or cnn
