[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 4877485, member: 48469"] [URL='https://babylonbee.com/news/snopes-introduces-new-rating-false-for-now']Snopes Introduces New Rating: 'False For Now'[/URL] U.S.—World-renowned fact-checking website Snopes has unveiled a brand new fact check rating called "False For Now." This will allow them to provide a rating for claims that are just conspiracy theories uttered by deranged far-right people until they later turn out to be true. "At Snopes, it's important for us to keep up with the undulating, ever-changing ocean of truth claims as they fluctuate across different official narratives we approve of," said Snopes founder David Mikkelson. "Did COVID escape from a Wuhan lab? Well, it depends! Did a Republican say it? Does it serve the official narrative of trusted sources like CNN? We have to keep all these important questions in mind as we continue to live our truth, which is what Snopes is all about." To save time, Snopes will just attach this rating to everything said by someone on the Right until a mainstream, unbiased source like [I]The New York Times [/I]approves it to be upgraded to "Mixture". Snopes also announced they will be attaching a rating of "Not Funny" to all Babylon Bee articles." [/QUOTE]
