i have to bow at that altar.
But yet you want people to bow down to your altar or you declare that the source is "lefty".

Very hypocritical to get mad at someone being biased (even if they aren't) when you yourself are already very biased as well and will ignore any sources that you don't agree with.

One was hiding results, the other wasn't. Remind me whos bias again? Going round in circles. I like how you dismiss the articles as "righty spin" but when i point out Snopes is lefty bullshit i have to bow at that altar.

Right wing deranged articles spouting lies about snopes are easily dismisable.

Please in future use less biased fact checkers

Analysis / Bias
In 2012, FactCheck.org reviewed a sample of Snopes’ responses to political rumors regarding George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, and Barack Obama, and found them to be free from bias in all cases. Critics of the site have made the false claim that the website is funded by billionaire philanthropist George Soros, which has been debunked many times as they are funded through advertising and donations, in which they disclose.
In review, Snopes was previously a signatory of the International Fact Checking Network (IFCN) that is run by the Poynter Institute. Snopes was independently verified by the IFCN, which lists its core principles as: “non-partisanship and fairness, transparency of sources, transparency of funding and organization, transparency of methodology, and open and honest corrections policy.” They met these criteria, along with 50+ other fact-checkers world wide. However, as of 2019 they are no longer affiliated with the IFCN.
Snopes always openly sources their information and avoids emotional wording, though they do occasionally publish news stories that offer some opinions. Snopes is frequently accused of liberal bias by some on the right. For example, the Daily Express of the UK and the Daily Caller have both criticized them for fact checks they felt were wrong or biased against the right. According to research performed by Real Clear Politics in the article: Snopes and Editorializing Fact Checks, they determined that out of the six fact-checkers working with Facebook, “that Snopes is the least likely to fact-check matters of opinion.” This is important because opinion is something that cannot be fact-checked. The article went on to say “We have found that since we started our project, Snopes has fact-checked opinions only 2 percent of the time. In other words, 98 percent of the time it sticks to matters of verifiable fact. Such an achievement is even more remarkable given that during this period, they produced the second-most articles of the six fact-checking outfits.”
A review of their fact checks indicates that they are properly sourced and factual, however, when it comes to political fact checks they check Republicans more often. This may not be due to bias, but rather that the President frequently makes controversial claims and Republicans control the Senate.
The Snopes website also features original news reporting that is again factual and properly sourced. From an editorial perspective, slightly more stories are favorable to the left such as this: Founders: Removal from office is not the only purpose of impeachment. This story is republished from The Conversation. In fact, many stories are republished from The Conversation. Original reporting such as this Is Trump Withdrawing Deportation Protections for Families of Active Troops? is low biased, factual, and properly sourced to left-leaning sources such as NPR and the New York Times as well as Government sources.
Overall, we rate Snopes on the left side of Least Biased based on infrequent stories that favor the left. We also rate them High for factual reporting based on transparency and proper sourcing of information. (D. Van Zandt 7/10/2016) Updated (01/11/2020)

Or as I like to call 'em:

Biased toward facts. Biased against bullshit.

Two perfectly good reasons for UltraSUPRA not to trust them.
Also consider this from the same kid that brought us and believes:

Hand sanitizers are communist ideals in disguise.
The nazi party wasn't right wing.
People are being required to have masks on inside homes and during sex.

This is precisely why Reich-wingers don't like bias\fact checkers:
Half of Trump supporters believe in QAnon conspiracy theory's baseless claims, poll finds
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...upporters-believe-baseless-claims/3725567001/
Poll: 70 percent of Republicans don’t think the election was free and fair

Or that fascism or national socialism is a right-wing ideology?

Fascism by it's very definition is far-right authoritarian ultra-nationalism.
Socialism by it's definition is far left.

Nationalism itself is not bad but like everything, when it is taken to extremes then it can be very bad.

I'm not wrong, am I?


Everything else comes from the fact that I wasn't paying attention to the memes I was posting.
Don't do that "I wasn't paying attention to what I was posting" BS dude, you knew exactly what you posted or you wouldn't have purposefully searched for something that agreed with your narrative and then posted in on here.

You can't get upset that people are treating you like a fool after you acted like one.

And yes, the Nazi party was and still is very much a right wing organization with right wing beliefs. The fact that you have to even ask that is possible the most astounding (not in a good way) question you have asked.

Again, homeschool clearly isn't working for you....

National Socialism. Right-wing.
