The Federalist is a highly partisan blog. I don't think it's fair to compare the two, the equivalent would be bringing out pieces from the YoungTurks stating that people are misrepresenting their opinions.
- jtbayly 8y agoFirst of all, I don't have any idea what you're talking about when you talk about "comparing." I'm not comparing any two things. Secondly, partisan or not, the Federalist was not the one Snopes was unfairly attacking. They simply reported on the effects of the Snopes attack on a satire site.
- gpvos 8y agoIn what way was Snopes attacking that site? It's just a short, factual note that it's a satire article and website. Now, what Facebook did with that was not good, and I can see why Snopes would want to get out of such a system.
- jtbayly 8y agoExcept that’s not why they got out, is it?
- jtbayly 8y agoSnopes manually reported the article to FB as fake news that shouldn’t be allowed to spread. FB trusted Snopes. That’s the opposite of what you imply, but it’s clearly the case if you read the original article at the top of the page.
