'And yet NewsGuard gives Snopes “a perfect 100/100 credibility rating” with the “highest of editorial standards”, revealing just how uncredible the entire fact-checking industry is.'
This is so important for people to understand, because organizations like NewsGuard are used by sites like Wikipedia to judge what sources are 'trusted'. It's a huge recursive web.
“Snopes doesn’t check facts, they check narratives, and as the official narrative shifts so do their “facts”. This isn’t fact-checking, this is government stenography.”
Fact checking brings to memory Bertand Russell's sentence "The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt". what kind of person self proclaims herself as a fact checker or owner of the truth? and by the way, how many fact checkers have corrected the CDC on masks, vaccine efficacy in preventing infection and transmission, etc...?
Literally none of the people who called this a conspiracy theory, and attacked people like Cotton for stating plainly common sense, rational, reasonable theories about things for which there was not a clear answer yet, has ever apologized or admitted error for doing so.
They just move on as if they never claimed all that, and as if they've always claimed otherwise. Straight up out of Orwell's "1984", the gaslighting behavior behind "We've always/never been at war with X". Yet instead of an authoritarian regime, it's journalists and establishment politicians doing it.
Matt, the problem with your "Lab Leak" theory, is that you presume that SARS-CoV-2, the purported "virus" cause of COVID-19, is real, backed by legit science.
However, as revealed by Dr Stefan Lanka, Dr Tom Cowan, Dr Andrew Kaufman, Drs. Mark & Sam Bailey, Christine Massey, BSc, Mike Stone (viroLIEgy), and a few others, NOT ONLY is SARS-CoV-2 fictitious (nothing more than a computer model), but all of virology is built on a fraud.
Please investigate some of these names I have provided, and their work.
For a generation lying has become a way of life. For many individuals their lying is so pervasive they actually believe their lies are true facts. They have become unhinged from reality psychologically. It does not bode well for them as individuals as they disappear down their own rabbit holes and are unable to find an exit, and then their reality collapses around them. Its a similar to the situation condition as for people captured by a cult and dont get out soon enough.
Snopes' comments are a perfect example of Postmodernist thinking that truth is fluid. Remember Biden claiming "we believe truth over facts". It wasn't a gaff as they tried to explain. The problem is "truth" to the Postmodernist is just like a shirt--wear one on Monday, change it on Tuesday, or even later Monday! The Ideology is Everything.

Just one example of Orf’s sharp wit:
“This isn’t fact-checking, this is government stenography.” Brilliant!

“Snopes doesn’t check facts, they check narratives, and as the official narrative shifts so do their “facts”. This isn’t fact-checking, this is government stenography.”
Perfectly said!
The lesson, as always: do your own research.

Snopes definitely should not be quoted in any term paper, kids!
(I knew it was a lab leak early on. A friend told me that their university had been working on virus modifications in a foreign lab for years.)
It was a bioweapon — designed in US lab !!

Why don't these people just change their focus to something more appropriate to their abilities?
For instance, we desperately need some qualified Chuck Norris Fact checkers.
Talking heads and puppets of the state. No integrity. No ethics. Not to mention their intellectual prowess is less than a 3 year old calf...

Just what I need, Amy Goodman telling me I'm fringe. I'm who DN! is supposed to represent.
