QuoteChristian conservatives were advised to consult Truth or Fiction or Conservapedia as alternative sources. Because they are happy to blatantly lie in support of their declared Conservative bias. Good to hear you announce that you support fake news. QuoteHowever, we later learned that George Soros was a major funding source. How did you learn George Soros is a major funding source of Snopes?

Lawndarter 3 #28 July 18, 2017 RonD1120 Several years ago, when the dot-com rage was in full force, it was revealed that Snopes and Wikipedia had a strong liberal bias. Christian conservatives were advised to consult Truth or Fiction or Conservapedia as alternative sources. This, of course, is total nonsense. Snopes has no "liberal bias", indeed, most of its content has nothing to do with politics. However, when it became a common source for torpedoing those stupid chain emails from your racist uncle (or weirdos on dropzone.com), it's only natural that conservatives had to start spreading rumours about it. Snopes, like all fact checking cites, works by showing its work. It doesn't just debunk something, it provides you all of the information in supporting the debunk (and usually, with fake news, that isn't a lot of work). Likewise with wikipedia, it's a great aggregator, but if you want to use it, better to go to the actual sources than it. Conservapedia is so comical it reads like a parody site. Intelligent people don't take that kind of nonsense seriously. Someone already quoted Stephen Colbert though - facts do have a liberal bias. So, apparently, does reality.

I actually had a reply typed out about it being nearly 2 decades ago but then figured what's the point - Ron's belief system allows him to make the most tenuous logical connections and nothing I'd say would change that.

Oh, please. Ron doesn't even need a tenuous logical connection.

And by strong liberal bias, you mean 'uncovering the facts' right?

RonD1120 62 #40 July 20, 2017 I did watch the documentary about Roger Stone a couple of months ago. I found it fascinating.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

tkhayes 348 #41 July 20, 2017 especially the parts where he openly admits to using fake media, stories and disinformation to get his ways. Right up the alley with Christianity - no wonder it works in politics, since it's been working for religion for centuries. Roger Stone is a slimeball, but very good at it. It's those dirty tricks that work to undermine democracy as we know it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
