Snopes joins the anti-Clinton bandwagon? « Jesurgislac's Journal
Both are listed with Snopes' yellow "Undetermined" button, which usually indicates stories like the Presidents with Binoculars page - where Snopes rightly notes "whether real or manipulated, these photos don't show anything beyond the trivial - most of us have accidentally raised a capped pair of binoculars to our eyes for a few moments, but most of us aren't surrounded by photographers who can catch these moments". That's "undetermined" - the photographs may be real or photomanips, but either way, it doesn't matter. These anti-Clinton webpages just have "research is continuing" at the foot: they include nothing but the attack e-mails which would normally be the source material. (To see how Snopes normally does this, check out last year's analysis of an attack e-mail outlining Marxist statements supposedly made by Clinton.) Snopes has, in the past, without fear or favour, gone through a whole rack of urban myths and legends circulated about Presidents or Presidential candidates. I've never before seen them publish an incomplete webpage.
