USA Today recently had to change a headline after the original disgruntled by gangster Joe's crew.

These are the same people that wanted an so called disinformation czar and pushed for censorship of wrong think to pursue their agenda.

So yeah, Snopes isn’t a reliable source.
Wrong. Snopes rates that true. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bi...lls-on-stairs/

Apparently it's not Snopes who is unreliable here.

That was just an example I made up without even looking, but okay! Snopes is neutral and nonpartisan.

(Note: I love how they go on to mention that two past Republican presidents tripped going up the stairs.)

That right there exemplifies the Republican play book -- make it up as you go along. Thanks for having the guts to admit it.

Oh please, I’ve seen plenty of ‘fact check’ articles, even including from Snopes, that go out of the way to toe the Democrat narrative.

OK, so in the future, don't make up stuff from thin air or it makes your entire argument look bad and not just that one point.

Lying in a court room for example, even if about 1 aspect will destroy your credibility, like it has here.

The topic of this thread is one.

The time Biden* wore the hard hat backwards is another.

Snopes isn't the only one who puts out false facts as truth, and then has to revise them later:

There are instances, but when you ignore them then you would believe there are none.

Lying in a court room didn’t destroy Fani Willis’ credibility in the eyes of Democrats, at least.

Anyway, my bad since I made up the example and I guess some thought I was quoting Snopes directly.
