"If an organization like Snopes feels it is ok to hire partisan employees who have run for public office on behalf of a particular political party and employ them as fact checkers where they have a high likelihood of being asked to weigh in on material aligned with or contrary to their views, how can they reasonably be expected to act as neutral arbitrators of the truth?"
I think you misread me...I was trying to make my sarcasm obvious. Did you notice that the snopes article was directly contradicted by the washington post article?
I'm going to hold onto that link you sent. I've been wanting some good data on why snopes is unreliable. I've seen people rely on it far too readily.
