Babylon Bee 7-30-19… “Snopes Issues Pre-Approval Of All Statements Made During Tonight’s Democratic Debate” (remember, this is a satire site)

This is satire, but it was so hilarious I felt it had to be posted. And much of it hits very close to the truth. Love this satire article.

I did not watch any of the “debate”, nor any videos, nor read any articles. And so it will remain.

[Btw, here’s a link to just one article about Snopes. In it she points out that “Snopes is now 50% owned by an ad agency (Proper Media) and they make money by generating millions of views on the 3rd-party advertisements on their website… Snopes was founded by a husband and wife team who are now in the middle of a contentious divorce… Snopes now has a hired team of suspect fact checkers who collaborate to debunk falsehoods that are trending on the internet… [who] reportedly have no editorial oversight and do not follow standard journalistic procedures such as interviewing the authors of articles they are trying to debunk to get all sides of the story.”.]

“With the Democratic primary debates in full swing, many fact-checking websites are preparing to review candidates’ statements for accuracy… As part of their ongoing goal of being able to rush to judgment as quickly as possible, Snopes published a pre-approval of all future statements made by candidates during the Democratic debates.

“Snopes also clarified that in the event a candidate does say anything that sounds untrue/conservative, they will automatically conclude that the individual had pure intentions and meant something completely different.

“At publishing, Snopes had also released a fact-check for all future statements by President Trump, rating them all as “False.””

Snopes Issues Pre-Approval Of All Statements Made During Tonight’s Democratic Debate

U.S. — With the Democratic primary debates in full swing, many fact-checking websites are preparing to review candidates’ statements for accuracy. Thankfully, Snopes, the most unbiased fact-checking website ever, has found a way to expedite their evaluation process.

Since their original founding in 1957 by the KGB, Snopes has gained a reputation for objectively reporting what someone’s secret motivations probably were, and what they probably really meant when they said something. More recently, they have perfected the art of determining whether a satirical article is hilarious, left-leaning comedy or divisive, conservative-leaning fake news.

As part of their ongoing goal of being able to rush to judgment as quickly as possible, Snopes published a pre-approval of all future statements made by candidates during the Democratic debates.

“While we understand there may be some disagreements among progressive candidates on certain issues, we know that nobody who shares our worldview would ever say anything factually untrue,” Snopes explains in their article.

Snopes also clarified that in the event a candidate does say anything that sounds untrue/conservative, they will automatically conclude that the individual had pure intentions and meant something completely different. As a very last resort, they may change a particular rating to “mixed,” assuming some context was missing.

At publishing, Snopes had also released a fact-check for all future statements by President Trump, rating them all as “False.”
