5/5The Greatest Fact Checkers
I’ve been reading Snopes for many years, back when it started it checked mostly urban legends. Now it does a fantastic job of covering important breaking news items. I like to read it, so when people tell me “did you hear about…”(the latest outrage) I can say that’s fake and point them to Snopes. Excellent!!

5/5Subscription paid but...
The fly in my ointment is that I paid for a year's subscription in November but the app is still limiting me to the free articles and cuts me off. I need assistance and short of cancelling my subscription what can I do?

5/5TRUTH LIFESAVER: An Essential App For These Days‼️
I verify information nearly daily. I’ve lived through Kennedy assassinations, US men on the moon, MLK/RFK assassinations, Watergate, post-Vietnam 🇻🇳 War, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton, two Bushes Obama. Biden and two Trump administrations … at 71 years old SNOPES is like my daily meds and vitamins …modern version of truth lifesavers‼️

5/5I rely on Snopes
Snopes is my go-to any time something I’ve seen or read sets off my sense that it is suspicious. I have found them to be reliable, well researched, and unmatched.
