Snopes has always been a fact-checking website. They apply the same basic methods to every claim they assess. Two guys in their bedroom can be completely impartial; a major news organisation can be completely biased. The owner of Snopes is a registered independent. http://www.factcheck.org/2009/04/snopescom/ http://www.factcheck.org/2009/04/snopescom/ The article you linked to is, at best, utterly misleading. The specific claim being assessed by Snopes was "American flags were banned from display at the 2016 Democratic National Convention", which was rightly determined to be false. In response to an article by The Daily Caller, Snopes pointed out that both the RNC and DNC used digital backdrops; these backdrops were used to display American flags, amongst other graphics. Fox News complained of a lack of American flags on display, but later issued a correction. http://www.snopes.com/flags-banned-at-dnc/ http://www.snopes.com/flags-banned-at-dnc/ The original article we are discussing levels equal criticism at liberal and conservative news sources.
