    Thanks Facebook, but most people don't consider Snopes an "independent fact checking site." They're right on some topics -- but biased and incorrect on others.pic.twitter.com/Lsv3lhYPNM

        Absolutely, Sharyl. It doesn't help either that Google gives Snopes precedent in their search results, giving people a false sense of trust that Snopes is a reliable fact-checking site.

        Google--that's another story. Google's parent company Alphabet was Hillary Clinton's #1 contributor and funded the nonprofit that started the "fake news" effort to control/censor info that certain appointed fact checkers, all of them left-leaning, would determine to be fake.

        Probably from Facebook’s perspective, Snopes seems to be in the center.

        The first one that alerted me years ago is they claimed the link between breast cancer and antiperspirants was a disproven “myth.” Sometime after I reported on the studies showing a possible link I believe they eventually corrected their claim.

        one notable one-- the first I discovered years ago-- they claimed the link between breast cancer and antiperspirants was a disproven "myth." only after my story aired (showing otherwise according to studies) I believe they eventually revised their page.

        So Sinclair Broadcasting is showing it's true colors and aims through Sharyl hating fact checks. I'm sure the American public can expect a breach of trust through Sinclair Broadcasting promoting Nu Alternative Facts. #DontSubscribeToSinclair #BoycottSinclairAdvertisers

        I'm very frustrated with the atmosphere. I apologize if I misrepresented your intentions. I'm trying to start with myself, and move away from libel but sometimes slip. I think we both agree we need more bipartisan public confidence in our institutions, leaders and journalists.

        That's anecdotal just based on conversations with people. (Where do you get your "most")?
