I think it goes to show my own bias against what CNN has become in recent years. When I find more impartiality and straight news on Morning Joe (MSNBC) than at any point of the day on CNN, there's a problem within that organization. Not to mention the fact that CNN has been busted altering or preventing their output if they don't like what is being said is another huge problem.
Also, Snopes has also had to change their articles (see Moldylocks) in the past because they take what they initially see or what they've initially been told and put it out as fact, only to change it later. I only know of a few times that this has happened, and to be fair news organizations have done this too. But it still seems to me that it would be better to wait for a few hours and do some digging before you label something as True/False/Mostly True/Mostly False. Otherwise you end up with a Michael Brown syndrome.
But yes, I'm leary of just taking somebody elses word for things and try to look for more than one source (which is in itself sometimes hard to do).
All fair points. I guess Snopes isn't perfect. But I accept what I read there over a politically opinionated personality.
