Utterly Unimpeachable

People – mostly Democrats – have considered “Snopes” the unimpeachable source of truth.

And when you read this, it’s also worth noting they also consider Jon Stewart, NPR, Steven Colbert, Ed Schultz and Huffington Post to be news sources, too.

    As the article points out Snopes has made a lot of enemies, hopefully this is the beginning of a long string of lawsuits that eventually bankrupts and dismembers them. Gosh without Snopes DG won’t be able to thoroughly FACTCHECK!! anymore

    Not so sure about suing a parady web site. But speaking of inaccurate fake news…..Kare11’s local news a couple of days ago ran a story that started with this line. “Women only make 79% of what men make for doing the same jobs”.

    Its one thing to be one-sided on what news you report. Its another to tell an outright…either a lie or no fact checking was done.

    Equal pay act of 1963:

    SEC. 3.

    Section 6 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended (29 U.S.C. et seq.), is amended by adding thereto a new subsection (d) as follows:

    “(d) (1) No employer having employees subject to any provisions of this section shall discriminate, within any establishment in which such employees are employed, between employees on the basis of sex by paying wages to employees in such establishment at a rate less than the rate at which he pays wages to employees of the opposite sex in such establishment for equal work on jobs the performance of which requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and which are performed under similar working conditions, except where such payment is made pursuant to (i) a seniority system; (ii) a merit system; (iii) a system which measures earnings by quantity or quality of production; or (iv) a differential based on any other factor other than sex: Provided, That an employer who is paying a wage rate differential in violation of this subsection shall not, in order to comply with the provisions of this subsection, reduce the wage rate of any employee.

    So feminists and newsbots do not believe this exists?
    Or perhaps they think that daycare workers and commercial airline pilots should be paid the same because they have the same job?

    Job is a job. Whether it is a sanitation engineer or a nuclear scientist or a medical doctor or an LGBT protester. They should all be paid the same regardless of gender, sexual orientation or race. To all according to their needs, from all according to their means.

    Perhaps all jobs should be like government union jobs. Everyone gets paid the same no matter what quality/quantity of work you do. Equality!!

    There are a lot of businesses run by liberal Democrats. If SHillary wins and the justice dept enforces the idea that all men and all women within a company have to average out to the same pay, I hope they go after liberal-owned businesses first.

    You’ve linked to a bogus sit.

    .co is a Columbia national domain. Which means that the story originates in Columbia.

    I think DMA is correct. There’s something off about that site.

    Some stories are true.
    Some stories are not true.
    Some stories, whether true or not, ought to be true.

    Sites like the one linked to are malicious and evil. They deliberately fill the bandwidth with falsities. So much so that people don’t believe ANYTHING they read so they stop reading. I think they are deliberately salted to encourage people to tune out and stop caring.
