Since we are both proponents of critical thinking, I assume we both agree that your comment is a classic "red herring fallacy" and not at all persuasive or responsive to the topic.Just a thought to promote critical thinking: If the stated goal is to save lives, why not lower the speed limit on highways to 25mph?
Answer: this is not about saving lives
2013, and this is worth a read:I looked for a date on this but did not find it.
Snopes has partnered with facebook, Snopes is not the arbiter of truths, they are a biased group with an agenda2013, and this is worth a read:
Was the NRA Founded to Protect Black People from the Ku Klux Klan?
Revisionist accounts of the origin of the National Rifle Association say it was formed to help freed slaves defend themselves against racist attacks after the Civil War.www.snopes.com
Do you have actual counter-evidence to offer, or are you just resting on unsupported conspiracy accusations? I am concerned Yooper might object to such a non-rigorous responseSnopes has partnered with facebook, Snopes is not the arbiter of truths, they are a biased group with an agenda
I think the point is that the truth isn’t accepted as truth after catching the fact checkers time and time again in lies. If people don’t realize there are biases in play, they simply are ignoring the obvious.Do you have actual counter-evidence to offer, or are you just resting on unsupported conspiracy accusations? I am concerned Yooper might object to such a non-rigorous response

Still waiting for any evidence for the proposition the NRA was founded to protect freed slaves. I have been a member for 30 years and the snopes assessment is far closer to the story the NRA itself has been telling me all this time. Not liking mainstream media is not proof of the proposition. Yooper must be saddened by this continued lack of critical thinking.Who fact checks the fact checkers
My fact checking is just as valid as Snopes
How many times were we told that there was russian collusion only to find out it was a fabricated story which was leaked and then they used the leaks to verify it and then get FISA warrants based upon lies
Sheesh! Let it go.Still waiting for any evidence for the proposition the NRA was founded to protect freed slaves.

It is no doubt a problem if you can't locate the original sources to check something yourself. Forbes and the Daily Mail are right leaning, and not exactly truthful.Anyone can do some searching about Snopes and find they have a left leaning. Here's a link that specifically asked questions and reports their answers.

Pulling back the curtain, we find that the fact checkers may not be as open and transparent as we thoughtwww.forbes.com
We are in a mess. I know the guys behind this "neutral" site that tries to provide balanced news by calling out starting biases and encouraging the reading both sides and coming to one's own conclusion. While it is a bipartisan effort, it did have roots in a very slightly right-of-center starting point.It is no doubt a problem if you can't locate the original sources to check something yourself.

Media Bias
Everyone is biased — and that’s okay. But hidden media bias misleads, manipulates and divides us. AllSides makes media bias transparent, helping you to easily identify different perspectives so you can get the full picture and think for yourself.www.allsides.com
Afraid you're correct. Alas. The titles or headlines are competing with clickbait.As I recall from one of the classes I took at Pitt, most people read the leading headline and about of the first paragraph, and form an opinion just from that
I'm surprised I read this far into your comment!I don't think most people even read the first sentence, let alone the first paragraph, anymore. Just the headline.
