If Snopes didn’t provide references for their fact checks, that Forbes commentary would be alarming. As it is, it reads like a hit piece.

Are they biased? I’m sure. Everyone is.

Not everyone gets to kick somebody off Facebook because they didn't like them, though. Snopes has been awarded this privilege, for some reason.

So now we're going to blame Snopes for Facebook's failings?

No, we're going to blame them both for raising the level of informational entropy - Snopes for producing the noise like "fact check" of satire and Facebook for anointing the noise-machine of Snopes as the ultimate arbiter of truth.
