dkrae: after Katrina, Snopes...
.@dkrae: after Katrina, Snopes tried to downplay "phantom cops", i.e., no-show jobs at the NOPD. When I tried to call them on it, they tried to cover up how they'd gotten it wrong.
@Snopes lied & then covered it up.
And, @alexismadrigal thinks they're "fact checkers".
