Personally, I think using "Snopes" as a fact checking source gives it much more credibility than it deserves.
And the whole idea of publishing "Fact Checks" like this sounds and feels Orwellian.
I don't mean to say that I don't trust those media fact checkers who dig into claims made by competing media sources, but I don't trust them 100% and I've seen blatant spin in too many "Fact Check" claims to not have to fact check them too.
Hell, I don't even trust Google search results anymore.
