I don't fully agree. They present contradictory or supporting evidence. I don't think that is presenting oneself as the authority.
Merely the fact-checker.
If you're saying they should present all the same evidence and NOT decide whether the claim is true or false--I think that's a pretty trivial point.
When I read snopes, I look at their evidence, not their actual rating. I know they have a bias and I don't want to include it in my own decision.
- colordrops 10y ago> I look at their evidence, not their actual rating. Your behavior is not an indicator of behavior at large. The politifact truth-o-meter is regularly embedded on Reddit and other sites out of context by those with an agenda.
- mod 10y agoAny source of information can be used improperly. We still owe it to ourselves to present facts without bias.
