Snopes
It’s about the fact-checking site Snopes, and the questions.
I’ve used that site a number of times, it’s a quick source for debunking urban myths, and there’s an old tale, about the space shuttle, which sort of checks out. I used that as a way to illustrate the futility of battling a bureaucracy.
Who checks the fact checkers?
The problem, as seen with some Wiki entries, too, is the source.
So the question, as Snopes was once kind of an outlaw fact-checker of sorts, just handy for debunking Internet myths, who fact checks them?
Never had a problem, and frankly still like the style, and the apparent bias towards common sense which seems much less common, but who watches the watchers?
I fish and I write horoscopes. No one expects me to tell the whole truth. I do, but that’s only because I have porous memory.
I’m not clever enough to lie well.
