Debunking the Debunkers...

You may have noticed that I link a site under the Miscellaneous Interest section called Urban Legends Reference Page. The site URL is actually Snopes.com but that's what its specialty is. I use it a lot when I get these ridiculous chain emails or messages in my inbox that make pretty stupid claims that the average dope would accept at face value. So when I get these obnoxious emails, I find it at this website and direct all the recipients to think again, 'cause they've been had.

However, Ace of Spades gives a pretty convincing example today of how Snopes.com usually tries to debunk stories that are actually true if it doesn't agree with their liberal politics. Check out his post here: Snopes: Reliably Liberal and Liberally Unreliable.

I'll still use the site as a resource, but this is good to keep in mind.
