Snopes...???
The last bastion of truth and or integrity...???
Facebook 'fact checker' Snopes.com accused of defrauding website to pay for prostitutes | Daily Mail Online
I'll refrain from the more lurid parts of the article even though they show more poor decision making.
From the article.
Lead fact-checkers...
Quote:
One of the lead fact-checkers, Kim LaCapria, has also been a sex-and-fetish blogger who went by the pseudonym 'Vice Vixen.'
She described her blog as a lifestyle website 'with a specific focus on naughtiness, sin, carnal pursuits, and general hedonism and bonne vivante-ery.'
Describing her day-off activities on another blog, she wrote that she 'played scrabble, smoked pot, and posted to Snopes.' She added, 'That's what I did on my day "on," too.'

Quote:
David Mikkelson told the Dailymail.com that Snopes does not have a ‘standardized procedure’ for fact-checking ‘since the nature of this material can vary widely.’ He said the process ‘involves multiple stages of editorial oversight, so no output is the result of a single person’s discretion.’
He also said the company has no set requirements for fact-checkers because the variety of the work ‘would be difficult to encompass in any single blanket set of standards.’
‘Accordingly, our editorial staff is drawn from diverse backgrounds; some of them have degrees and/or professional experience in journalism, and some of them don't,’ he added.

So that's the definitive source of truth in scientific news debunking, we're supposed to use...???
Not to mention "
any" news in general...???
No Thanks...
Also, Breitbart has found a additional 427 more scientific papers in the second half of 2017 not metioned in the Snopes article.
Are they all wrong...???
Unlikely...
