I have been doing some research of my own for a video exposing leftist MSM as being the real "fake news."
Wikipedia has allowed its editors to put misleading information in articles like the Comet Ping-Pong entry.Whoever typed up the part of the entry had cited BBC,Bloomberg,NY Times,and Snopes as their sources.
SNOPES PIECE
Snopes in particular is supposed to be a fact-checking site.If you look at the four sources that the "fact-checker' has cited at the bottom of the article,two of the four are cited from
Washington City Paper
I did some follow-up on the
Washington City Paper
and discovered that it is an alt-weekly tabloid that Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder threatened to sue for publishing false information about him.
The link below is from the
Washington Post
which-though being a leftist MSM outlet-features something interesting within Dan Snyder's explanation of
why
he was suing the
Washington City Paper.
Apparently,out of the more than 55 pieces that the Washington City Post writer did,only three times did this writer call Snyder's staff to fact-check
DAN SNYDER'S PIECE
A fact-checker at Snopes citing an alt-weekly that doesn't always fact-check.That's rich.Did anyone else notice this or am I presenting something new?

If you don't know by now that Snopes is controlled disinformation then you haven't been paying much attention.
▼ Headstart
The answer is to have our OWN unbiased version of Snopes.
There seems to be a wide conspiracy against conservatives on the internet. Look at what they did to the founder of Mozilla. There is a real racket going on to "control how people get their information."

Washington city paper is obviously connected to cpp as well.

So far I see David Mikkelson. Although I have come across rumors that George Soros is helping out financially.

Snopes is a joke. They were created for the purpose to debunk actual truth to mislead. If you want to know what is true news check out what Snopes is lying about.

Snopes is the biggest joke on the net. I hope after this pedophile investigation comes to fruition, that snopes will be brought down, too. Before I knew better, a very liberal friend always pulled them out of his hat to site something that he thought was incorrect on fb. Fell for it, until I started realizing that they were just a shill site. The only thing they contribute to is to polish the apples of liberals. A bunch of cucks. Take me down, too. P,lease.

This reads like clickbait, except you're telling people to look something up. Interesting hybrid. Can you post the info?

It's the "echo chamber" effect with Snopes and the MSM. One group says "1+1=3" and the others cite them as canon. I pointed out that the Snopes article writer on PG just mirrored the Washington Compost and NY Times UP articles debunking PG, when all they did was parrot Alefantis' "I'm innocent, mkay??" statement and take that as truth .

As a woman in my 40's, I felt like a complete fucking fool that I hadn't realized how corrupt the MSM & government is until 2014/#GamerGate. But at least I learned . Here is one of the first truths I discovered;

And then in trying to explain to what I now called 'normies' how, yes, Wikipedia & MSM lie! They carefully craft false narratives & spoon feed it to the willing public who take it in like baby birds, not even looking or even really seeing what's being ingested. Just fucking taking it.

idk how so damn many sources have gotten unquestioned carte-blanche to be the arbiters For The Ministry of Truth.

That's one thing that I did notice when reading through the Snopes "debunking." I had gone through the NY Times article very closely and the Snopes writer quoted a fraction of that article verbatim.It gives me the impression that she was using it at the very least as a partial basis for her own piece.
What's interesting is that,while the Snopes writer did post at least some of the pictures that citizen investigators had acquired and added to the investigation,she made something of a passing reference to the Podesta brothers/McCann without also posting the picture of the police e-fits that look awfully like John and Tony.I guess doing that would be detrimental to their spreading of fake news (COUGH!) fact-checking.
Boy,was the Times victimization of Alefantis noticeable.Never mind that the creep was posting pictures on his IG of a little girl with her wrists taped to a ping-pong table or of the German baby.

If anyone actually quotes Snopes anymore they immediately peg themselves as a dinosaur and/or liar.
▼ DownBoy
Sadly,Snopes is still widely respected.Even if they do source Washington City Paper
▼ VieBleu
their fortunes are tied to the MSM so their popularity hopefully is on the same track - untrustworthy and shrugged off.
▼ DownBoy
Yeah,hopefully in their death throes.The U.S. election and the result of it has had an almost cataclysmic impact on them.
▼ redditfuckingsucksyo
God I hate snopes so fucking much. We need to dig into them and bring them down .
▼ DownBoy
If only someone could get a hold of their books.They seem to be guarding their financial information very closely from what I've been reading.

Washington City Paper confronts Frank Winstead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ftrcg0nB93w Look at this Alefantis shill making a fool of himself. This paper is not serious or "real" in any way.
▼ DownBoy
Winstead slamming the door in his face was awesome!
▼ Orange_Circle
Good work on that.
▼ DownBoy
Thank you.

new info to me, i havent been looking in to snopes.
they are not legit, knew when they claimed bill clinton had been impeached and disbarred... reading the articles reveal neither of those things happened.
▼ JUNOAK
Clinton was impeached and disbarred
▼ Brinecat
he was not disbarred, He stepped down, and no longer practices law. the difference between quitting and being fired.
He was not impeached, that is an ACTIONABLE injunction to suspend the presidency. a Motion was filed, a resolution was not passed. The articles Linked in that Snopes Reference (which
ironicallypredictably are clickbait articles) disprove the baseless claims suggested within the titles. it just takes an OBJECTIVE viewpoint and a valid interpretations of the data.▼ DownBoy
I'm glad it's new to someone.
Yeah,I didn't think that they were legit.I was going to get a screenshot of the "fact-checker's" quoting of the fake NY Times and leave it at that.But I figured that I would keep going and find other things in the article that could be insurance that the kill shot was made.
Guess they must have been around for some time if you're talking Willie's impeachment.
▼ betadynamique
Clinton was impeached, just don't need Snopes to say so in order to know it.
