Snopes.
Accusations of bias[edit]
For more detail on the way cranks always react to skeptics, see our articles on Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia and the shill gambit.Anyone who insists that their personal myth is fact, whether that be moonhoaxers, 9/11 truthers, or bigfooters, will insist that Snopes is wrong because everyone but themselves is biased against the "truth". FactCheck.org, a nonprofit website dedicated to, umm, checking facts, reported that Snopes was completely unbiased.[8] According to Media Bias/Fact Check, Snopes has a rating of "left-center".[9] This of course proves that both FactCheck and Media Bias/Fact Check are also part of the conspiracy.[citation NOT needed]
In an extraordinary example of media eating itself, fake news merchants have distributed a meme on Facebook saying that FactCheck.org had condemned Snopes as an "extremely liberal propaganda site". The meme also claimed that Snopes was associated with George Soros (supposed boss of the international Jewish conspiracy) and the Democratic National Committee. FactCheck.org duly published another article praising Snopes's lack of bias and totally debunking this claim and associated photographs that wrongly identified Hungarian ex-PM Gordon Bajnai as Mikkelson.[10]

In 2009, FactCheck.org reviewed a sample of Snopes's responses to political rumors regarding George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, and Barack Obama, and found them to be free from bias in all cases.[48][49] In 2012, The Florida Times-Union reported that About.com's urban legends researcher found a "consistent effort to provide even-handed analyses" and that Snopes' cited sources and numerous reputable analyses of its content confirm its accuracy.[50]
Mikkelson has said that the site receives more complaints of liberal bias than conservative bias, but added that the same debunking standards are applied to all political urban legends.[48]
