The only way to throw away one's vote is by not voting. Fear, not always being irrational, is not necessarily a bad criteria on which to base one's vote.

Snopes is probably funded by federal government/politicians. That's why democrat apologists like to refer to the site. They've already got a demonstrated propensity for believing everything they read/hear from lamestream media.

As to the GOP fanatics who listen to and swallow whatever they here from their latest idol. And if the story changes? 1984's "Double Think" is her and now. (1984 is a book - we liberals, having deciding learning to read is useful, can read books).

Perfect example: you haven't the least basis for this except that you'd like it to be so in order to justify your ignoring their showing you that what you believe conspiracy theories and lies. You've dismissed them so that make the world OK again

Implication being that if you are not liberal you can't read?
That should have gone to the Soapbox...

Indeed. It's just that I've observed much more often from liberals displaying a I'm-smarter-than-all-yall-and-holier-than-all-yall sort of attitude.

Of course, it's all anecdotal. That's all any of us really got.
N_tro_P wrote: many social networks
I don't have time for that. But I do stalk (just read, not post) some social networks that challenge my viewpoints. I've learned a bit. Moderated my views a bit. And I've become a little less hardassed in my own views. To the point where I've come to question a lot of my ideas.

An old couple with a cat. That's the "side" you see of "Snopes".
I would be willing to bet that the majority of their statements are probably more true when you negate what they state on different matters.
Product of the state.

That link you sent me, to that "Realist News" guy. Is anyone actually dumb enough to listen to what he says? Especially cast in the light of all of the items he "features" on the left edge of his page. Also, just listening to how he says what he says - generalities defining generalities (e.g., many people - what does that actually mean?). Well attack the messenger to avoid the message. Seen a lot of that lately, too.
Wait - it's 2016 - there is a vast wasteland of the willing.
Are you one of them?

I do hope you read the bottom of the article:
"This political satire column originally appeared in the Peoples Cube. The author is the Kommissar of Viral Infections with additional reporting by Red Square."

1. No, this is the Lounge, not the Soapbox.
2. snopes.com. I always get a good laugh when someone tries to disprove one internet source by using a different internet source. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
