| Subject: Snopes & AP “Checkers” Abruptly End “Fact Checking” Relationship With Facebook Sat Feb 02, 2019 9:42 pm | |
| It looks like at least two of Facebook’s four self-proclaimed pontificators of what is fact and what is not, Snopes and the Associated Press, have abruptly ended their “fact checking” relationship with the social media giant. On Friday, Snopes announced that it had “elected not to renew our partnership with Facebook.” They failed to provide specifics for the reason they chose not to continue in their Nazi-style censoring partnership with Facebook. “Forgoing an economic opportunity is not a decision that we or any other journalistic enterprise can take lightly,” Snopes added in their statement. Well, you can say that, again. They’ve been losing money left and right and even have had their hand out to the public despite working for the Facebook Gestapo. Though Snopes began working for Facebook for free, they did accept a payment of $100,000 last year.
