Brian Stelter introduces us to the Mikkelsons, the folks behind Snopes.com. I hope there's at least one thing in this article they'll have to debunk.
I enjoy (and generally accept) Snopes and several other fact-checking websites. There should probably be some Internet definition of being a blind fanatic for your cause. It would involve you believing something that neatly serves your political beliefs but refusing to believe that there is such a thing as a non-partisan site telling you you're wrong. I don't think Snopes is infallible (nor is Factcheck.org or Politifact.com) but their errors are errors not conspiracies. The fanatic, confronted with a discrepancy between what he says and what they say, will either denounce them as working for the enemy or pretend they don't exist.
