I am working on ways to talk with people who do not trust current fact-checking media outlets such as Politico, Factcheck.org, and Snopes. I would love to hear from people who do and do not trust these organizations. Why you do/do not trust these organizations? How often do you read or see articles from these outlets? And finally what are some of the Fact-checking media outlets that you do trust and follow and why?

Please reach out with any other questions or comments that you might have!

Hope to talk to all of you!

Well anyone with a brain should know Snopes is not legit and bias. A few web searches on where they get their funding and the issues with the owners personal lives. Plus they have been caught many many times pushing leftist agendas.

Hey, thank you for your answer! Yes, I understand Snopes is raising some eyebrows when it comes to political leaning, I have seen this complaint a lot. What are your thoughts on other fact-checking sites such as FactCheck.org or Politifact? From what I have found, Snopes does get the most backlash when it comes to political leaning, but the rest don't get as much! And do you have any fact-checking organizations you do trust?
