The left’s arbiter of truth gets snoped

The unabashedly left-wing site, Snopes, which has set itself up as the internet’s arbiter of truth, just got snoped.

Snopes likes to fact-check articles to determine if they are truthful or not.

Of course, since Elon Musk took over Twitter and has been pushing for more free speech, he has become a major target for those on the left.

And so Snopes weighed in after accusations were made that Elon Musk’s Starlink, which provides internet via a satellite, was partially responsible for the failure of the OceanGate that disappeared during its survey of the Titanic wreckage earlier this week.

Fox News provides the details:

Left-wing fact-checker Snopes.com altered its rating about a claim suggesting that billionaire Elon Musk’s Starlink company was partially responsible for the disappearance of the OceanGate submersible since Tuesday.

Initially, Snopes claimed the allegation of Musk’s company bearing some responsibility was “true,” then updated the fact check to say it was “unproven,” before finally adding necessary context and deeming the allegation “false.”

The fact-checking debacle acquired the attention of Musk himself, who ripped the website on Twitter once it admitted it was wrong.

After the hit job on Musk failed, the billionaire responded on Twitter stating “Snopes is a con.”
