Amazing how everybody is focusing on discrediting the person with the opposite views.
Nobody asked you to trust snopes. Just have a look there to get the opposite argument and decide on the merits.
That's not at all what happened. Someone came with a claim, someone else said to go to snopes to fact check. Then a few of us pointed out that they are not reliable fact checkers. If you're saying it's a matter of looking left and right and deciding which is correct, that's one thing, but it was presented as an objective way to find the truth, which it isn't.
