- denton-scratch 4y agoWell, if you read something surprising, then you should probably check it somewhere, unless it's trivial. Snopes might be a reasonable first check.
- nonameking2026 4y agoWho fact checks the fact checkers ? Once you read something totally unreasonable in a fact check, why should you go there as a source of truth anymore? Wikipedia is probably a better bet - at least you have history of edits and sources.
- denton-scratch 4y agoAgreed - I'd personally check out Wikipedia first. But it takes time to go through the edit histories, talk pages and sources. I'm retired, so I have time; but for a quick sanity check, Snopes isn't a dreadful choice.
- nonameking2026 4y agoCan you fact check snopes in your spare time :)
