Thank you Snopes.com




There are many claims that are made every day, but thanks to Snopes.com we are able to know if the article/claim is reaching or if it completely true. Snopes.com has a section on their website that is titled Fake News, which shows all of their debunked articles. For example, they have a claim that shows that the Black Lives Matters leader was sued forkeeping millions of dollars of donations. But Snopes shows the people that that claim was falsely made. Snopes did extensive research to see if the claim was correct, but they could not find a court case and even proved that the leader of the Black Lives Matter movement was not the name that the claim suggested was getting sued. The article states, “The ReaganWasRight.com article linked to a federal court records database, but there is no record there of any lawsuit against a Marquesha Johnson. In fact, we could find no evidence of a leading Black Lives Matter campaigner of that name.” [1 image, 2 links, 1 quotation, 166 words].
