There are reasons I don't have a Faceplant or Tweeter account.

This is one of them.

ChiefManIHaddit • 5 years ago

Facistbook, in what I have seen, has become mostly a platform for women to chat with other women about heir children, where they went shopping, at the gym (to say they are concerned for their weight) and recipes. I use it just to see how my family and nephews and nieces, are doing. I rarely post, but to wish others a happy holiday.

I mean if you never thought Facebook and Twitter were tools of leftist propaganda, well you should now. "Joining with Politifact"? Deferring to Snopes to "fact check" a Christian spoof site? It's no longer about serious objection anymore, it's about thought policing anything and everything.

Shouldvewenttohawaii • 5 years ago

Snopes flat out said, "Hey, we acknowledge we're writing this piece about a site and article that is obviously satire, but there are some people who believe it's true so it's necessary we debunk it."

There are people in the US who think Sandy Hook was a hoax, the South won the Civil War, the Moon Landing didn't happen, and Infowars is a trusted source for news. I guarantee you there was a sizable population of people who mistook Babylon Bee's joke as literal. Some people are just dumb. I don't think it's a knock on Snopes, it's a knock on all of us that Snopes was compelled to debunk the story because we're all idiots who will believe anything we see if it agrees with our preconceived bias.

Snopes should have a category - "Satire" but don't since progressives only believe what their handlers tell them to believe.

John Galt • 5 years ago

So what snopes.com and Facebook are admitting to here, albeit inadvertently, is that 'triggered liberals', who are the progressive left's supporters, are too dim to understand the difference between 'a joke' and 'truth'. I know that does not seem like a shocking revelation to most who follow these events but an interesting admission none the less.

Democrats. Such worthless losers. Always creating hundreds of new websites to intentionally misinform people. HItler would be proud of Snopes and Politifact.

Death to the satirists!! Unbelievers!! Unholy heathens!
Death to those who mock! No more independent humor!

Stand now with Anti Satire-ism! Believe in the uni perspective!!
Believe!!!
Humor must be approved by GooGle/FaceBook/.
Do not fall prey to Russian manipulation.

Resist on! Resist now all anti-satirists! Book culling at 10:00.
Paper pulping afterwards, (we do not contribute to global warming by burning)

Kurt Vonnegut's, "The Bureau of Equalization". Right comrades?

"Facebook's algorithm makes it more difficult for the disputed post to spread virally."

Sounds like censorship to me. But that can't be right. Because the left has always had a fit whenever they thought THEY were being censored. So they certainly wouldn't be doing something they, themselves, have blamed others for... would they?

people get off fcn facebook its for lozers.......let zuckerberg die

ray • 6 years ago

I'm glad to see that worthy and appropriately named site, Babylon Bee, getting some free publicity.

Uh, hello Woke America: it's a satire site. You know, like SNL used to be before they became fat, rich, cucked, and converged.

FreeOregon • 6 years ago

PC flakes lack a sense of humor. Jonathan Swift did not tell his readers A Modest Proposal was satire. Today Facebook would block him.

We all need to start reporting leftist groups for posting questionable things. Everyone do it, and then watch FB go into a meltdown

I wish RUSSIA would build a new Facebook without the socialist restrictions. Russia would be more fair.

Ozzone • 6 years ago

Snopes says it's FALSE that Seth Rich sent DNC emails to WIKILEAKS (it hasn't been proven nor disproven yet but the overwhelming evidence is that he did).

That he was just part of a string of robberies (which doesn't pass the smell test any at all he was shot in the back and none of his valuables were taken).

That his assassination (that's right - he was assassinated) had nothing to do with Hillary or the DNC (yeah you believe that one right?).

That's all we need to know that Snopes is a leftist organization through and through and can't be believed at all. Their sole goal is to protect the globalist, socialist agenda 100%.

Greg • 6 years ago

Snopes. Independent... yeah... you're either a fool who believes that, or a fool who thinks you'll gain from other people believing that.

Ozzone • 6 years ago

It's the Gruber effect. Facebook is adhering to that philosophy also. It's in the leftist playbook.

Cara_C • 6 years ago

Snopes isn't an independent fact checker. It's a leftist propaganda site. We need a new viral challenge- the Abandon Facebook Challenge.

Never have. Never will. As somebody famous once said (some attribute quote to Robert Heinlein but it's not certain), "Avoid zealots. They are generally humorless."

ccj • 6 years ago

Once again, Snopes is wrong. Satire isn't false. It's not true either. It's just fucking satire. Snipes most be pretty desperate if they're checking shit like this.

Angela Edwards 🌺 • 6 years ago

Snopes is wrong most of the time. I was shocked today (and I do mean shocked) when I looked up that story on the two versions of the Wall Street Journal and they had it listed as "true" and showed the papers side-by-side. I think that's the first thing I've seen on that site in three or four years that was correct.

skoch • 6 years ago

Fakes? What about FAKEBOOK and their lies to get new members? I have never Fake Booked or twittered. Yet for the last 4-5 years they have told me I have 5 friends trying to find me and 8 new notifications. How can I have a message if I don't have a page????

I was getting that message every other day for over 4 years. Last month I started receiving a new spam from them that says I have 8 friend requests and 38 notifications. This is no more than attempt of phishing site so they can use your life as a milk cow for their money machine. It is as bad as being told I have 8 million from a Nigerian Price in the bank and I must contact "xyz" for instructions on receiving it. BWAH
Ha HA, ha ha.

Common folks, make your own personal web page and communicate using personal contact with your friends...you remember...the human way. Not the bot way.

Telephone, I M, Skype and SEE your friends and loved ones. Remember when receiving a letter in the post was so special and endearing because someone took the time and effort to show their love and admiration?

Big brother FB, go f yourself. Everyone should start canceling their accounts. Please, can some billionaire right leaning person develope a whole new web system that normal people can use that will to put these F’s out of business. Start a whole new F’en thing!! Give these lefty dk’s a run for the money

Who snopes Snopes?

How does one flag Facebook activities? Facebook obviously needs flagged as 'inappropriate' for doing this.

lenale walker • 6 years ago

Multiple, credited, ex-CIA, ex-FBI, ex-Counter-intelligence site's on u-tube have been removed PERMANENTLY for stating nothing more than the truth. This is communist-level CENSORSHIP. This is being done to ALL conservative, libertarian, right-wing site's on ALL of social media. We are going to lose this country if they succeed in silencing the patriots of this country. Peace

Snoop-poopes is a left wing liberal mis-information website.

Ozzone • 6 years ago

You have a point there Alric. Do you realize they are still people, as few as there are, that truly believe Hillary did nothing wrong simply because her buddy Comey said she didn't intend to do anything wrong even though she did wrong. Amazing right? That there are people that stupid is almost mind-boggling.

Voltaire • 6 years ago

I find it ironic, in the supremely sardonic sense, that Snopes called out satire.

Dan Brown • 6 years ago

"independent fact checkers" ?
If ever there were a more misleading title.
How about, "Soros funded totalitarian leftist propagandists and censors"?
At least that would accurately describe SNOPES.
Rated: TRUE

The whole "research team" of Snopes used to be one guy and his wife. Now it's the same guy and the hooker he ran off with. LMAO.

BraveNewWhirled • 6 years ago

It would be an LMAO if Big Tech wasn't using discredited "sources" such as Snopes and the Southern Poverty Law Center. As it is, they are using them as an excuse to shut down dissenting viewpoints.

Phantom Stranger • 6 years ago

Snopes is little more than a hatchet operation and propaganda "fact" checker for the Left. Google and Facebook feverishly uses Snopes because the firm can act partisan towards content, while Google and Facebook pretend they aren't partisan or ideological.

The entire propaganda and "proper" news rigidly enforced by Silicon Valley is the most grave threat to free speech that conservatives have ever faced in modern Western history.

It's telling how establishment Republicans have gone along quietly allowing Google and Facebook to use their unchecked monopolies against right-wing content.

George Makrauer • 6 years ago

Snopes.com is "an independent fact checker." Yeah... after a wild drinking binge into unconsciousness would some fool say that.
