No. You provide examples of why you think Snopes is worthy of believing.

There is no reason to believe them simply due to the fact that they are posited as an unbiased site.

They present information in bad faith then contradict themselves on the exact same page in the explanation of their claim to validity.

Burden of proof is on he who makes an outrageous claim, so by all means feel free to state your case as to why you think a particular, clearly untrustworthy website, is worthy of trust

Snopes sort of just is what it seems to be... I don't expect snopes to be right 100% about everything, but you're the one making an "outrageous claim" while demanding other people prove your vague unsourced allegations wrong.
