Fact Checker sites are just another layer of disinformation that try give the perception of legitimacy.

Obama lying about the specifics of Obamacare.

I'm not pretending Snopes or Politifact are beacons of truth, they obviously lean liberal, but if that's your qualification for immediate dismissal, that's ignorance. Let's not act like the YouTube personalities you post are any better.
