Biden hard hat debacle is latest black mark for left-leaning, fact-checking site Snopes

I worked on a crane maintenance crew 20 years ago and we chose to wear our hard hats backward. We worked overhead and did not want our vision impaired as we moved things around far overhead. Mine was backward all day, but the hat band was reversed to fit as it should, unlike Bidens. But if a worker loaned him his personal hat and placed it on Biden's head that way, that is that. Remember how the liberal press made a big case out of how Trump fed fish in a pond, and how he held his coffee cup and the way walked down a slippery ramp. TD (Tunnel Dweller)

 Biden hard hat debacle is latest black mark for left-leaning, fact-checking site Snopes (msn.com)

"The latest gaffe from Snopes over the weekend has put a spotlight on the fact-checking site’s left-leaning slant. 

" 'Snopes is the kid that thinks they're the smartest student in the room and the apple of the teacher's eye, but in reality, they're the one everyone makes fun of for being a smart aleck," NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck told Fox News Digital

"Snopes, which is largely taken as gospel by the media elite, has been referred to by CNN as "the internet’s oldest and best-known fact checker," and once partnered with Facebook on a truth-finding venture. Snopes' own website boasts that it has been cited in publications such as The New York Times and Washington Post, while staffers have appeared on ABC, CNN and NPR. 

SOCIAL MEDIA STUNNED AFTER SNOPES FACT-CHECK REVERSAL ON PRESIDENT BIDEN'S BACKWARDS HARDHAT

"Snopes reversed one of its rulings over the weekend to admit that President Biden did, in fact, wear a construction hard hat backwards. Biden was pictured during a visit to union workers in Wisconsin and the photo showed Biden noticeably wearing the hard hat backwards, with the strap and tightening knob clearly visible.

"Snopes' published an initial fact check, admitting the photo was authentic but insisting the president was correctly wearing the protective headwear." . . .
