‘Fact checker’ Snopes gets key facts wrong on Ocasio-Cortez campaign finance scandal

[The Purge]

“Gets key facts wrong”? That makes it sound like Snopes just made an innocent error. But Snopes does not make innocent errors. They twist and turn every which way to give cover to liberals.

And that’s a shame. Because a good, neutral fact-checking site would be a nice thing to have.

“Snopes is for Dopes.”
Now that right there is funny!
And true!!

The left-leaning fact-checking website Snopes butchered facts about a PAC controlled by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her top aide in a story published Thursday.

Ocasio-Cortez and Saikat Chakrabarti, her former campaign chair and current chief of staff, obtained majority control of Justice Democrats in December 2017. The PAC, which had raised more than $1.8 million before her June 2018 primary, has been widely credited with manufacturing her upset victory over incumbent Democrat Joe Crowley.

Snopes writer Dan MacGuill falsely claimed in his story that Chakrabarti, who served as executive director of Justice Democrats, “was not an official agent or officer” of the PAC. He also failed to acknowledge the fact that Chakrabarti and Ocasio-Cortez are members of the PAC’s three-member board of directors, according to archived versions of the Justice Democrats website and corporate filings obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

I've long since stopped accepting Snopes as any sort of defacto proof of anything. Go on there and look hard trying to find anything much supportive of rightwing issues.

I've long since stopped accepting Snopes as any sort of defacto proof of anything. Go on there and look hard trying to find anything much supportive of rightwing issues.

Snopes entire function and raison d'etre is to appear the neutral disinterested arbiter of facts and issues when they are anything but.
They are like the Morris Dees of fact checkers though not as transparently money grubbing as Dees. But they are both left wing functionaries meant to give the left cover when they make pronouncements (Well Snopes/Southern Poverty Law Center wouldn't lie to me!).

And Snopes represents how devious and well thought out the left and their strategy for disinformation and propaganda are, just like you'd expect a socialist leftist front group to be.

Snopes is just a Department of the DNC.
