Their contributors are known to mischaracterize popular right-wing views to discredit them.

They interviewed Moldylocks to get her account of the events at Berkeley:
http://www.snopes.com/antifa-protestor-punch-m80/

What's irritating here is that the Snopes article concludes the photo isn't doctored, but debunks the claim that it was full of explosives. I haven't heard anybody claim it was full of anything -- just that she was using it (and other empty bottles) as a weapon. So they cheerfully exonerate her from the thing no-one claims she did.

I wouldn't be surprised if the idiot that wrote the blog post they're sourcing the claim was just a matter of the sort of Chinese whispers bullshit that comes from things like that stupid dishonest article there was a slapfight about earlier on in the thread, where someone not caring about firecrackers turns into advocating throwing explosives which turns into "she made bomb threats" or "she was throwing IEDs".

Normally I'd say that they should be commended for going through the effort to debunk absurd claims, but given that the source of the claims is A guy with <150 likes on facebook it looks more like they went the extra mile to find a claim that was so absurd and on the fringe of what people could have possibly be aware of that I think it's right to accuse them of trying to play up the claims so that the writer could label what is being said about her as "mostly false".

Oh geez, citing a fallacy isn't a fallacy fallacy, you fucking braindead spastic. A fallacy fallacy is calling a conclusion false because the reasoning is fallacious. The purpose of citing your unsound reasoning is to show that there is no reason to accept your conclusion. It can still be correct by accident, but not by anything you said.

Take for example the article about Clinton freeing a child rapist. They re-frame it into a claim that Hillary Clinton "laughed about freeing a rapist" and judge it "Mostly False".

>Facts should not be an "ongoing debate"- thats a Trumpian Logical Fallacy.

There certainly can be an ongoing debate, in which case you have to distinguish between a "Good Guess" and a "100% True Fact."

Sometimes you do not know the truth and all you can do is present a good guess. However, you should not misrepresent your good guess as a 100% true fact.
>>
It acts as an arbiter of what's true and false, when the data itself on the topics they cover is limited. It's more so what topics they choose to cover, and how they choose to cover and frame them. Where something leans is fairly subjective, but it's never wrong to question someone or something purporting to determine what is truth.

Big problem is when data is limited. They create and debunk very specific assertions. This frames the argument in a different light more akin to a more left-leaning, liberal mindset, even when there may be truth to original questions being asked had they been framed differently. Perfect example of this is the supposed "fact checking" during the presidential election. It's become more and more apparent over the past year, as everyone becomes polarized in their political views. The refusal to archive their information is also sketchy. Figures lie and liars figure.
>>
>>140407279
>False claims certainly can be debunked. Facts should not be an "ongoing debate"
This is called appealing to the stone. Nothing can be known for certain, thus the ongoing debate. People who think they know are idiots. For all you know, you could be a brain in a vat. Do trees make a sound if they fall and no one is around to hear them? You don't know that they do. You may think it's unlikely, but that isn't a consequence of a quantified probability, therefore it is a consequence of cognitive bias. You can't even prove you exist -- why should I believe you if you say something's debunked? Why believe anyone -- based on their credentials? What degree must one get in order for their conclusion that they've debunked something to be 100% accurate and undeniably true? A doctorate? Your notion that things can be "debunked" is based on arbitrary assumptions.

>>140406083
I'm gonna go ahead and say that reality is sentient and that we only exist as self aware extensions of the intention of all that IS. Your concepts of what can/cannot happen are bounded by simulated linear time and the physical world that you are allowed to perceive and make sense of by your 5 senses. The very things you believe cannot happen are actually happening right now, always have been happening, and always will happen whether or not the first person subjective YOU ever observes them.

Wish I had a screen shot of the original site. It looks fucking ridiculous. Little clip art cartoons as bullet points, dumb "gotcha" jokes at the end of every myth they "debunk", you could tell it wasn't a serious site at all, more like a gossip circle of sorts.

>>140408541
>fuck off with this larping BS.

Why are you being so obtuse? This isn't hard to understand, here is an example:

Very early on, some fact checkers had thoroughly debunked the claim that Hillary Clinton has handed debate questions by that black woman in the DNC. Later on, it was learned that the black woman did indeed give Clinton the debate questions.

That's a problem you're going to run into if you claim to be a website that "debunks" things and your knee-jerk reaction biases get you in trouble.

>>140408541
Prove 1+1=2 without using tautology. All knowledge is based on axioms, which are assumptions we think are self-evident, like the apparent self-evidence that 1+1=2, which we know to be intersubjectively true, not objectively true. So go on, prove it. I can conceive of a possible world in which 1+1!=2, or even one in which numbers don't exist, so convince me those worlds don't exist and that 1+1=2 is necessarily true. You can't.

If you have any respect for him, you're retarded.
Russell's teapot:

>Many orthodox people speak as though it were the business of sceptics to disprove received dogmas rather than of dogmatists to prove them. This is, of course, a mistake. If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time.

False analogy. We observe that we are the only civilzation in the solar system, that teapots don't launch themselves into space, and that there have been no manned missions to Mars -- we observe that it is unlikely such a teapot exists. We make no such observations about the existence of God.

Russel would have no authority to assert there is such a teapot. The bible does have authority. The bible is 66 different narratives, letters, and writings written by 40 different people, five of whom witnessed Jesus after His resurrection, over about 1,500 years that are all theologically synchronous, with minimal, irrelevant "contradictions" that are expected of any such collection of historical documents and only add to its historicity. Its own words also give it authority, which reveal themselves as the word of God to anyone willing to read it as such.

Nail on head. SNOPES "resembles" the truth while peddling propaganda.

It's almost as comical as Vox and Politifact.
>>
Even when they were credible and not political hacks, it was still essentially "let me google that for you". They didn't get off their fat asses and actually investigate anything.

>>140412975

No. Snopes is a purveyor of propaganda. It's literally anti-truth.

Snopes, like NYT or WashPo, now requires corporate and government charity because they have destroyed their business model by trying to cash in by selling their reputations to political propagandists.

Btw, What's with libtards and George Takei? That dumbass held a grudge against William Shatner for not letting him be captain of his own starship. Shatner had to explain to him that the show is about their voyage and making him a captain of his own ship would mean writing him off the show short of guest appearances. He still didn't get it. But libtards hold Takei up as some kind of brainiac. He's butt fucking retarded.

You are making the claim that it is impossible that your knowledge is possibly false.
There are different perspectives and one reality, so what makes your perspective correct? Every bit of evidence you could possibly provide for the truth of your conclusion is based on your perspective, so using it to show your perspective is correct would be invalid circular reasoning. All you know is that 1+1=2 to everyone who encounters the problem, and it is thus intersubjectively true. If someone were to perceive 1+1 to not equal 2 but maybe something else, you would conclude, by -inductive- reasoning, that they are incorrect, which, while pragmatic, is a faulty induction -- as it always is to claim to have true knowledge based on inductive reasoning. Alternatively, what if a larger number of the population were to perceive 1+1 as equalling something else other than 2? like 5 or 5,000 or 1/3 of the world's population?
You would contest that's impossible just as you contest implicitly that it is impossible that your knowledge is possibly false. Why? If you can't provide a reason, then your belief that you know 1+1=2 is irrational.

They are pretty nice when dealing with internet scams and the like. However, during the election they took a very pro-Hillary stance, even when Bernie was still in the running. In one instance they say the claim of Hillary Clinton calling Bernie supporters "Basement Dwellers" was mostly false, and their excuse was that she merely said that those who like Bernie Sanders are living in their parent's basements. Don't believe that they'd do that? Here's the fucking link http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clintons-basement-dwellers/

Snopes "debunks" conspiracy theories a couple days after they even come into existence.
Pizzagate was debunked by Snopes without even a formal police investigation.
That, plus the guy who runs it is a wacko.

Snopes is a left wing propaganda website.

Their explanations are usually strawmen, or flat out lies.

So what was the conclusion you were taught? That fallacies are irrelevant because they can be countered with fallacy fallacy?

I guess wikipedia really can be wrong.

If you want to understand why snopes is bad , lookup pizzagate on it.

An ad hominem is using insults as a premise, not concluding you're retarded.
---
appeal to hypocrisy
---
Refutation isn't "suppression."
---
red herring. The alleged dubiousness of our sources is irrelevant to your invalid or unsound "evidence."
---
What we are unable to accept is people propounding falsities as truths.

There is a difference between being "triggered" (an unreasonable emotional reaction) and hating stupidity and degeneracy
