Snopes, a left-leaning fact-checking website given preferential treatment by both Facebook and Google, flubbed its fact-check of American Indian activist Nathan Phillips’ false claim of being a Vietnam veteran.
Phillips shot to national attention after a viral confrontation between him and a group of high school boys from Covington Catholic high school. Phillips, with the help of credulous national media outlets, said the boys mobbed and racially harassed him as he tried to leave the Indigenous People’s March. Video evidence debunked Phillips’s account.
In addition to botching the details of the confrontation, media outlets also inaccurately reportedthat Phillips is a Vietnam veteran.
Phillips described himself in interviews as a “Vietnam-times veteran” and groups affiliated with him told The New York Times that he fought in Vietnam. Phillips explicitly claimed in a 2018 Facebook video that he was a Vietnam veteran who served “in theater.”

LMAO, NO, say it ain’t so. Everyone but maybe millennials have known for years snopers is a communist front. If you wanted to propagandize, what better way than to set yourself up as a supposed arbiter of truth.
No one nor any organization should be believed at face value. Do your own research with credible sources. Look at original documents and videos. The only way to know the truth. Otherwise ask a lot of questions and demand to see the sources of who is reporting.
Use your critical thinking skills to think for yourself.
Aw-w-w-w-why when it is soo much easier to let someone do it for you. That way, if there is a mistake it can be blamed on someone else.
Snopes is a married liberal couple, that’s all it is, period.
