The case for Snopes.com

Snopes.com usually Is my go to website when I have an issue with a post I see on Facebook. I find it truthful and dependable. I’ve read through some of the articles under the News section and I have not found where there is a bias towards liberals or conservatives. I think they do a good job of just putting the facts and the source of article together. What I find in today’s world of news is that there is always people trying to say or do anything to get point across through absolute believe. Snopes.com, truthorfiction.com, or just plain google.com should not be an end all source search. In this day of information at our fingertips, there is no reason why a person should count on just one site for all their source of information. The problem lays in that thought pattern and the reason why there is a Snopes.com. I know of at least four or five people on my Facebook list who actually believes everything they see on Facebook. I have posted things also that have been debunked by my friends through sites like snopes.com. I feel if it is something that a person believes in they are not going to research it. They will just roll with it, causing so many Facebook urban legends. To me, Snopes.com is just another tool, in the information source kit, that will give a balanced opinion of things that people like to spread like the true meaning of Black Friday comes from the fact that slaves were sold the day after Thanksgiving., which is very untrue.
