When you are wondering about rumors, conspiracy theories, folklore, fake news, and urban legends, who ya gonna call? Not us…but how about Snopes.com?
Solid breakdown of Snopes as a fact-checking resource. That Renee Good misinformation case shows how image context can get weaponizd super fast. I use multiple fact-checkers myself but didnt realize Snopes started back in '94 with urban legends.
Thanks! Yep, Snopes has been around a long time. I wish all we had to worry about were urban legends today.
