        What facts need to be checked? Plagarism isn't the lying you're looking for unless you plagarized a lie.

        What surprising to me is that anyone ever gave that site any credibility at all. There are some things that they got right of the majority of the time it was already searched bullshit they put out. A broken clock has been more correct than they have been.

        Plagiarism is wrong, but it is not evidence that Snopes is unreliable as a fact checker.
