Snopes: "In March 2019, we asked Twitter about anti-Muslim hate speech on the platform following the mass shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand in which a white supremacist has been accused of killing 50 people in a shooting rampage at two mosques. "

- That question is almost certainly inaccurate as he is according to himself (and consistent with his explanations) not a supremacist. He's a racist and fighting to protect his culture. Snopes looks superficial to me, and with an outspoken left bias.

So, Snopes seems to be not so reliable, even according to Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kalevleetaru/2016/12/22/the-daily-mail-snopes-story-and-fact-checking-the-fact-checkers

Here's another such one by Snopes: https://www.snopes.com/ap/2021/01/09/trump-pressured-georgia-to-find-the-fraud-in-earlier-call-2/ Thus they posted an AP news article as-a-matter-of-fact, without doing their fact check on it or even commenting on it.

Talking of AP, AP Fact Check is now becoming notorious for me - see my recent blog articles. From now on, if AP Fact Check claims that some information is false, it will suggest to me that instead, there likely is at least some truth in it!
