Do you get a sense of bias in the Snopes Article regarding the Jena 6? |
|
To me, the article seems to take a very definitive stance. What are your thoughts? Here is a link: http://www.snopes.com/politics/crime/jena6.asp

1. Snopes has a tendency to report the facts ... |
|
but ...
it also has a tendency to begrudgingly dispell the myths about Democrats ...

2. Snopes has been very bias lately |
|
The facts recited were NOT well researched and missed some key things such as the bigot who is the DA coming to the school and making threats against the African American students.

3. Agreed. Snopes is missing the stuff that shows |
|
institutional racism and premeditated decision to shaft the black kids.

4. They only quote those that have vested interest in making this |
|
go away quietly.
It came up because in another, non-political, forum, people were talking about this and being told to go to Snopes for their facts.

6. I always thought they were pretty fair. But then, I haven't been checking |
|
it for the past few months.
I remember when they attacked Michael Moore. They did issue an apology and admitted he was correct.
