    I wish others good life and hope they gain wisdom, not sarcastically like you generalised. People have this generalisation problem.

    Instead of these biased fact checkers, why do you not research yourself into any publisher or source organisation? You have the internet and search engines on your fingers, go check yourself and remove the middleman.

    Why are you advocating everyone instead of being educated and independent, employ a middleman fact checker who nobody is keeping in check? Why are you claiming Snopes, MBFC or these should be an authotiry on validation of news sources?

      And internet search providers aren’t biased at all either, right?

      There’s so much false info on the internet tout can’t trust any of it. None of them are regulated. in my experience at least snopes and mbfc try to back up their claims.

      So you just randomly look up stuff and believe whatever hit is first?

      Search engines are biased on how you phrase things.

      So you have zero trustworthy sources you’re saying.

      I’m legitemately asking you, for the fourth time, give me some sources.

      I’m attempting to educate myself more, but you give zero information to help that, outside of critizing me, but yet you insist i’m the troll.

      Ok.

      So do you do all your own scientific research as well? Have you confirmed gravity? Or do you just trust that it’s real?

      We have to assume some level of trust on some line, until proven otherwise.

        That is why you have multiple internets earch engines. Snopes, MBFC and so on are not infiltrating news organisations with their own spies, they also use Google and so on. You, instead, can use Qwant, Bing, Yandex, Google, Baidu and so on. Multiple search engines. Multiple resources.

        Do you know the methodology of how Snopes or MBFC work? Are they transparent? Are their financial records transparent? No, they are not. Learn to research yourself.

        You are not going to deflect this conversation with “gimme sources while I keep goalshifting to distract your focus” anymore. It stops now.

        You are insisting these fact checkers that take questionable sponsorships or are part of questionable organisations are unbiased and people should rely on them, instead of learning to research themselves.
