I've revived r/BanBigMouth here on SaidIt. It's insane that Reddit banned a subreddit dedicated to exposing a cartoon that sexualizes children. I'm taking mod applications.

Snopes is a website created by two people. It started out ok, explaining urban myths but then it veered off course and lost all credibility.

I understand that, but they're providing sources to what they're saying, in this instance. If someone here gave you links and sources backing up what they're saying, I'm guessing you'd believe them also.

Even so, you have to read what they're saying, and do your own thinking. That's why I realized that they weren't exactly telling the truth when put beside what their sources were saying.

I agree that one has to do their own thinking.

The problem is when a reference site exhibits bias a few times their credibility is damaged.
