1. This has some examples of articles the author feels are biased.

Good points, this quote was taken out of context.

Good points, Trump was registered as a Democrat in 2001. Old registrations aren't a great predictor of current views.

Pretty fair, there is no primary source evidence either way, so the article concludes with "Unproven". This was not "opinion-heavy" or "mocking".

Very fair, the claim was wrong on both counts.

2. This article ignores the executive editor's registrations as a Republican and Independent, and doesn't provide any examples of biased Snopes content.

3. This is a nearly fact-free article. The author seems shocked that Snopes doesn't hire unbiased people, but such people don't exist.

4. This article does not mention Snopes.
