Snopes Fact-Check Calls True Biden Story ‘False’ Despite Photos THEY Included in Post — Then Reverses It
A photo that shows President Joe Biden wearing a hard hat backwards was labeled "false" by Snopes before they changed their minds after pushback.
And just like that Snopes proves their fact checking is completely disingenuous.
Archive this forever.
Anyone who would change their mind on Snopes already did years ago. Anyone who was pro-Snopes has already excused this as an accident or some other excuse.
They'll use this as evidence of legitimacy. "See, when informed of the error, the fact-check was updated. Snopes only reports unbiased facts. The system is working as intended!"
snopes rates this mostly true
What's illuminating about this one among the other false fact checks is it clearly shows their thought process.
A 4-year old looking at this picture fucking knows the hat is on backwards, but their fact check was rationalization like 'well you wouldn't put stickers on the back of your hardhat duh^6'. This level of delusion is only possible if you started with it.
Snopes starts a fact-check with the assumption that conservatives are always wrong about everything.
