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?

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.

Clinton was impeached, just don't need Snopes to say so in order to know it.

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.
