Is the information on the snopes page false or incorrect? No, it isn't.

There's a reason that they write more about each topic than merely the headline.

"snopes occasionally makes editorial decisions I disagree with" is not the same as "snopes is fake and unreliable".

Sorry, I must have missed it the first time, tell me again why you continue to rely on an overtly racist blog to be your arbiter of "ethics"?

It is both false and incorrect. Saying that "every one with an x has since been voted out of congress" When not every one with an x has since been voted out of congress is false. I mean even the article quotes a tweet listing 10 people who were incorrectly marked. You should see what Snopes does every time a right wing person says something not 100% correct.

Again, the Snopes article is blatantly false.

Sorry, I missed why you think that I continue to rely on a racist blog to be my arbiter of ethics.
