Thomas Gallatin: Snopes Is 'Missing Context' | The Patriot Post

• The Leftmedia opinion-checker trots out an “explainer” label as it seeks to protect Joe Biden from negative press. - THOMAS GALLATIN

"...This army of “fact-checkers” includes the likes of PolitiFact, Lead Stories, FactCheck.org, NewsGuard, and Snopes — the latter being the subject of today’s lesson, which we’ll come back to after a little history.

...Media Matters sought to reinforce the lie that the MSM was not biased toward the Left. 

• And out of this effort grew the “fact-checker” phenomenon. These supposedly objective, non-biased entities were painted as arbiters of truth, primarily of stories or claims made across social media....

Now, back to Snopes, which demonstrated this in spades when it “fact-checked” a social media post from RNC Research. The post on X featured a 16-second video clip of Joe Biden with the caption, “BIDEN: ‘I love your ears.’”

• Obviously, the RNC was having a little fun at the expense of Creepy Joe, who has a long history of rather bizarre behavior around young women and girls. Ask his daughter Ashley, whose diary recounts some of it.

Did Snopes ask Ashley for context? Nope.
That’s even though Snopes titled its fact-check with an apparently new feature: “Explainer.”...
