Snopes Bible

Everyone checks up on snopes to find out if something is true. How do we know that snopes is always right – what is it, the computer bible?

No one says that they’re always right, and undoubtedly, there may be times that they are wrong. But they do have a reputation as being pretty accurate. But if you have evidence to show that they are wrong, then by all means look elsewhere for answers.

Snopes has a strong liberal bias.

@Pac-Man: What is your proof that Snopes.com has a strong liberal bias?

@Mbachur: Check it out. Very interesting stuff.

The whole success of snopes is dependent on their accuracy. The reason people use it is because of their reputation, therefore it is in their best interest to be as accurate as possible. Obviously they are human and make mistakes, but if they would continuously make mistakes people would start catching them and they’d be out of business. Therefore they spend money trying to accurately research their info.

mbachur — snopes is a sight that attempts to verify the accuracy (or non accuracy!) of rumors, stories, urban legends, etc.
