Cohousing-L Mailing List: Snopes [was Revoking federal tax-exempt status

[Sharon Villines (sharon]

Snopes has revived itself after much adversity in funding as an ad-supported 
and subscription website. They have a daily newsletter and are planning a forum 
for people engaged with fact-checking in one way or another. They also 
mentioned a database of information — not a clear explanation of it yet.

For example the claim that Trump ordered a change in the name of the Gulf of 
Mexico. They give the text of the speech, the context, the history of naming, 
other examples of water with several names — one sea has 5 names depending on 
which country you are in.

What I like about Snopes is that they give the full context — not just true, 
false, maybe. Reading Snopes is a good way to learn how to evaluate claims.
