Political Irony

Whenever I receive one of those chain letters making some unbelievable claims, I wander over to Snopes to see if it is true (or if it really is literally unbelievable). But recently a chain letter has been going around that claims that Snopes itself lies, and is secretly run by Democrats (horrors!).

Which brings up the interesting question — how do you fact check a fact checking site? With another fact checking site, of course. The Annenberg Foundation’s factcheck.org stepped in to dispel any nasty rumors about Snopes. And since factcheck.org is funded by a conservative foundation, you can probably believe them when they say that Snopes does not have a liberal bias.

That is, unless you discount the fact that facts have a notoriously liberal bias.
