People are lazy and love handing over their brains to completely incompetent strangers. Snopes is no more credible than any random person in any comment thread under a video. What I want to know is, "How could they possibly know the origins of any story, the meaning and intent behind it, and it's veracity?" Unless Snopes is just CoIntelPro for the CIA, they are nobodies doing what everyone is doing.... They're googling and cherry-picking data to confirm their bias. Same goes for "rational wiki", Metabunk, wiki, etc.... It's just censored and selected information that frames their intended narrative of conjecture and circle jerking.
