I have no idea what you're on about! Melania Trump is a retired porn star and it's been said that she used to be an escort, like the woman who is the subject of this thread. If Melania Trump is fit to be our next first lady, it seems to me that this woman is fit to do admin and even some research for Snopes!
PS: Not liking Obama isn't what makes you racist.
Its main 'fact checker' is Kimberly LaCapria, whose blog 'ViceVixen' says she is in touch with her 'domme side' and has posted on Snopes.com while smoking pot
On another blog, LaCapria once described what she did on her day off, writing that she “played scrabble, smoked pot, and posted to Snopes.” She then added, “That’s what I did on my day ‘on,’ too.”
Snopes “fact-checker” Kim LaCapria claimed on her personal blog that she has “posted to Snopes” after smoking marijuana. As TheDC previously revealed, LaCapria describes herself as “openly left-leaning” and once claimed that Republicans fear “female agency.”
The point I'm trying to make is that snopes should definitely NOT be the authority in fact checking as mainstream makes them out to be

Youre right, the American people should fact check themselves......with the Internet and all the information ever known to mankind(basically) at our fingertips, there really is no excuse for people to be ignorant of facts.....
No ONE source should be the end all be all, and anyone that relies on one source is ignorant....
We have become a nation that has lost all accountability to the self

No the past doesn't matter. But the credentials are still questionable. The point I'm trying to make is that snopes should definitely NOT be the authority in fact checking as mainstream makes them out to be. As an example; ATS has far more credibility than snopes does.
The other point I wanted to make is that they have no experience in journalism nor in investigation. So why should snopes be the authority in fact checking? If snopes is the authority then I name myself the authority of all topics in the world.
if they can do it why can't I?
Why Can't you? Or IAMTAT? point is some of us know there is Media Bias going on and they've been proven to be bias and agenda driven time and time again.
Snopes fall into those lines. the moment people point to only one website while dismissing other people's points of views or ideas, you get a good recipe for dictatorship as well as a monopoly in the rising.

If they want to be the arbiters of truth, then there is no reason for them not to.
Actually, there is no reason why we couldn't all do it.

Well, being arbiters of truth seems to pay very well...PLUS you get to marry Porn Stars.

The problem is that truth is subjective, facts aren't.
And people want the truth, not facts.
No one is entirely objective any more.
truth is a generally accepted outcome or reasoning while fact is a proven truth...in other words every Fact is True but not all Truths are facts. Example 1+1=2 is a fact (only one result proven truth), but 2=1+1 is true but not fact(infinite result as 2=1x2,2=6-4,2=2+0 to infinity.
Sometimes. Maybe 50/50 *shrugs* who knows? But that is waaay more than what a lib will give you.

Is it true that I think I'm more awesome than you?
Of course.
But is it factual?
