I am trying to point out that you are selective in what you pick and choose as evidence. You are finding evidence that supports your belief.
When I posed something from Snopes you never insist on looking at the evidence, you brush it aside based on the alleged bias of Snopes.
Am I saying you shouldn't trust this mathematician just because OAN reported on it? No, of course not. I am only pointing this out so you due the same due diligence when some outlet you don't like reports something.
You're speaking in generalities, not facts.
Snopes is known for being not only inaccurate, but a liberal-leaning and untruthful site. There are examples on top of examples where they obfuscated the claims just to be able to state "FALSE" or even worse "UNPROVEN," as if the two are synonymous. In fact, the claim they debunked was never made by anyone. They twisted the claim into a false statement in order to push a narrative, not offer evidence and an objective opinion. So, yes, Snopes is not in and of itself reliable. That's not just an opinion. It's supported by facts.
You didn't state "you due [sic] the same due diligence when some outlet you don't like reports something." You simply poo-pooed OAN as a bad source without explanation.
Stop the shit show. Say what you mean THE FIRST TIME, or just stop commenting. You're just trying to stir the pot with unsupported claims of inaccuracies WITHOUT PROOF.
Given the number of times the Main Stream Media has been called out for pushing bald faced lies and unresearched BS, there really are no traditional news outlets that can be trusted. I'll trust an up-and-comer before CNN until they give me a reason not to. Bias is not a valid basis to distrust OAN unless their bias has caused them to lie for their cause/affiliates. I don't see OAN doing that.
So-called fact checkers offer accusations that are subjective at best with no proof of those opinions. Here's what Forbes has to say about the sources of fake news:
These are the most fake news sites
Among the news site rankings, there are a few surprises. The top news site,
for example, is not a national newspaper or a computer-security site but has
still managed to draw a record 52 "high risk" domains, according to DomainTools.
The "safest" of the sites also fits the same description.
Here's the list of publishers with the most high-risk domains:
1. Newsday (52 historical high-risk domains)
2. The New York Times (49 historical high-risk domains)
3. The Washington Post (20 historical high-risk domains)
4. The New York Post (16 historical high-risk domains)
5. Los Angeles Times (13 historical high-risk domains)
6. New York Daily News (10 historical high-risk domains)
7. USA Today (9 historical high-risk domains)
8. The Boston Globe (6 historical high-risk domains)
9. CSO (5 historical high-risk domains)
10. Chicago Tribune (5 historical high-risk domains)
