Didn’t we all learn as kids the maxim, “people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones?” It’s one of those little lessons taught to children, but like so many such maxims, it makes a lot of sense
When you set yourself up as an arbiter of what is true and just, you’ve just taken on a huge responsibility. And it doesn’t take much for you to get knocked off your pedestal. Just getting the facts right is tough enough, but to be discovered to be engaging in fraud or other nefarious activities disqualifies you from the role you have tried to assume.
More on what happened to this internet “fact checker” on page two.
Angel Toro you wrote two different points…Snopes is nothing as promoted, it is a disinformation purveyor….makes money by creating and de-creating media stories.
Griner Waters Snopes has been shown to be MUCH more accurate than “truth and action”, regardless of who runs it. So i digress, why would you chose the lesser of ALL sources?
Snopes often creates the f**e news so they can then refute it…..you don’t seem to recognize how they profit…they are mostly paid by corporations to create f**e news for or against the corporation paying or competitive corporations.
Griner Waters So you’re not gonna address the inherent problem with your “critical thinking” are you? Again WE KNOW FOR A FACT THAT “truth and action” is a F**E news site. You CHOOSE to agree with it regarding this F**e claim instead of just looking it up. That was your free choice, you chose wrong; I’m wondering why not just look things up. It’s literally takes 2 minutes.
Angel Toro example…..corporation A competes with corporation B….corp A pays Snopes to publish f**e articles against products of corp B, often Snopes then ask corp B for payment, if paid….Snopes exposes story as f**e news.
Angel Toro I did not take my original information from “truth and action”….I took it from multiple sources and the “truth and action” article only re-exposed it.
Griner Waters That’s a “strawman”.
Griner Waters But you were wrong; So maybe it’s time to change your sources?
Angel Toro wow, you people are learning that suddenly (it isn’t but), the left uses straw man” arguments continuously, Obama’s speeches always include straw man points.
Griner Waters Lets add “Ad Hominem” To this thread now too.. lol
