The attempted trashing of Snopes is understandable considering they get it right about 95% of the time, while using verifiably legit sources - thereby causing great embarrassment to the wingnut nation :o :o

Snopes uses liberal journalists, academics to dispel rumors, claims. The so called 95 percent accuracy rating is as tainted as their findings.

Not saying that they can't be correct about the most obvious of incidences but it is basically an online correspondence course in liberal bias .

Clinton could have used a much stronger verb. "Deplorablöe" isn't very condemnable, read the definition.

deplorable

adjective
1.
causing or being a subject for grief or regret; lamentable:
the deplorable death of a friend.
2.
causing or being a subject for censure, reproach, or disapproval; wretched; very bad:
This room is in deplorable order. You have deplorable manners!

By claiming that Snopes is unreliable in one realm, you’re also refuting the thousands of other articles that Snopes is actually accurate about. By proclaiming a source to be tainted in one aspect, you may inadvertently be trying to establish that all other things produced by that source may be spun in favor of that particular taint — without even bothering to check to see whether they actually are.
