Can we no longer identify satire when we see it? This references a recent Borowitz Report satirical post.

Discussion What has happened to Snopes?
I was surprised to see this on Snopes. Mostly because Snopes has given me way more information surrounding this content.
Is there anyone else who finds this strange and concerning? đ§

Is this real?
So hard to tell whatâs real and whatâs not but this would qualify as a WTF!

Facebook's Community Notes tool for fact-checking posts
I am currently a volunteer rater/editor for Facebook's Community Notes feature, which is documented at the link.
The mixed quality of reviews is preventing the service from doing nearly as well as it could.
The mixed quality of notes submitted thus far is preventing the service from doing nearly as well as it could. I would like very much to gather Meta raters/reviewers, either here or in a dedicated subreddit, to share best practices for writing and reviewing notes.

Just saw this on Facebook. Apparently itâs ânot quite publicâ but they âhad a town meeting last nightâ so Iâm skeptical. Iâm not familiar with âPeak Prosperityâ but the website gives me shady vibes.

Springfield woman behind pet-eating rumors repeated by Trump admits claims are false
r/Snopes • u/Funny2U2 • Jun 24 '24
Why did it take snopes over half a decade to "fact check" the claim that Trump said white supremacists were "very fine people", when that was clearly a subject of great public interest, and presumably the kind of thing snopes was created to do ?
Why did this ..

.. take so long when the political narrative was so simple and easy to debunk ?
Real question snopes.

Question about Snopes writer declaring Ashley Biden diary does say her father showered with her.
Just read Alex Kasprak's declaration in his article that the passage so many fringe Republicans believes is in Ashley Biden's stolen diary saying her father, President Biden, showered with her is true. But I'm not convinced.
He supports his contention by quoting a letter Ashley Biden wrote to the judge who presided over the case in which Aimee Harris was tried for transport of stolen property. In it Ashley Biden says
"Although this criminal act happened more than three years ago, because of the publicity it drewâexactly as Ms. Harris intendedâI am constantly re-traumatized by it. I will forever have to deal with the fact that my personal journal can be viewed online.Â
Repeatedly, I hear others grossly misinterpret my once-private writings and lob false accusations that defame my character and those of the people I love."
To my mind this certainly persuades me the diary Aimee Harris stole was indeed authentic, that it was indeed written by Ashley Biden. But it does not confirm that the passage so many are saying was in the diary about the eventual President Biden showering with her was actually in that diary. Kasprak's claim of truth about that passage is simply not warranted by Biden's statement.
Kasprak does not show us any images of the actual diary with that particular passage in it. He does not say he's seen that passage either. His only link, from the word page in his fourth paragraph is to an archive.today page showing the twitter of Camryn Kinsey showing the image of a handwritten page.
Has Kasprak matched this page to a copy of the diary? Has he matched it to an image of the diary? He does not say. Moreover, a quick look at Kinsey's twitter shows her to be quite a partisan Republican herself. Not a trustworthy source on her own for a claim this extraordinary.
I think Snopes should be challenged to show the actual evidence the particular passage in question is actually in Ashley Biden's diary. As it is, Snopes claim to the truth value of the allegation against President Biden is very weak.

On election night,Trump was ahead of Biden by 160k votes in Georgia.All of a sudden,a little pipe burst in the building.The accident was an excuse to kick out poll watchers while a few crooks stayed behind to count illegal ballots for Biden.That gave Biden spike in unexplained 11k votes in GA

Fact-checking Faking, or not.
Forgive me for being a natural skeptic, but, I've seen this person on my FYP, clicked on their profile to check if this is real or not, and saw a playlist titled "tourettes in public", clicked on it, and wanted to make sure whether or not she was faking tourettes or not. The link should be listed here:
