But if you think anyone in Trumplandia is going to believe Snopes, well ... they just don't.
It's unbelievable that we can't even agree that a truly nonpartisan, straight-shooting site like Snopes is indeed that. Trumpistas and Republicans, in general believe that everything and everyone has a bias that can't be overcome, and that the world is divided into The Right and The Wrong.
NewsBusters now has its own "Fact Checking the Fact Checkers" site:
"More and more, major news outlets are relying on fact checkers to, allegedly, ensure that the news is factual, sources are reliable, and statements are accurate.
"In theory, this is admirable. In practice, it has proven to be simply another opportunity for the media to push their leftist agenda.
"Fact checking groups such as PolitiFact routinely cast judgments while failing to disclose their own left-wing bias. Their allies in the media try to cast these groups as neutral third parties when, in fact, they are card-carrying members of the liberal echo chamber."
I fear we're already through the looking glass and may never return to a semblance of reasonable, rational discussion. Everything, including finding the "Right" diaper service or pizza parlor, has become tribalized, politicized and balkanized.
Oy.
