Snopes latest example of ‘fact checking’ the truth away

Snopes.com has shifted its “fact check” on the news that the Biden administration would be offering free crack pipes as part of a $30 million program from “mostly false” to “outdated” — the latest move in a remarkable drive to make the story just go away.

It all started when The Washington Free Beacon broke the news, citing public documents. As meme-makers went wild, social media circled the wagons to try to protect the Biden administration.

Instagram attached a “missing context” label to posts, while Facebook went with “false information” after a ruling from partisan “fact checkers.”
