    Here is my prime example of this bias:

    "The petition was boosted on Twitter by Marcus Lemonis, the controversial CEO of Camping World, who wrote: “I will not budge … I will not compromise … I will not take the flag down”"

    Why is he "controversial"? For a "fair" fact-checking site, that seems like a very biased, opinionated statement about the corporate owner.
    Looks like you availed yourself of cut-n-paste from a couple of sources to quote directly, and therefore supplied your own answer to your question. If you click on the word "controversial" either in your reply above, or in the original Snopes article, it will direct you to a second article about Marcus, where in that instance he was cast in a less than favorable light on the other end of the political spectrum. Hence, "controversial".

    Not sure a post about a business flying the Flag of the USA is political. Maybe because that business owner is defying an injunction. Which would make it a legal matter. I don't believe the original poster mentioned a political organization except for the word progressive (I'm on my phone browser).
    But then again maybe I am wrong.
    What I will say is those that are not picking the flying of the flag in reference to the federal laws, are probably the ones that also flame folks for expressing opinions on 2500/3500 tow rigs and tow ratings opinions as well.
    Then again, maybe I'm wrong there as well...

    Here's an example since you may not have read the whole thread. "Today, Snopes has turned into a sycophantic political surrogate for the Progressive Left, the Obama Administration, and Hillary Clinton".

    Gone too political. Closed. The rules are in place for a reason. If you all want to skirt or ignore them, go to Facebook.
