Hey guys, it's Adventure Van here with a blog about Snopes.com, a fact-checking service that has come a long way. When Snopes was first started, it was in newspapers checking local rumors for any factual merit. But as the internet has come into play, they moved their and now work on checking the internet's many lies in a hope to make people more informed and less easily fooled. Especially in today's trying times, where many people are lying simply to try to get an advantage in political, business, or any other circles where having a misinformed public would greatly help their cause. I'd definitely recommend cross-checking any outlandish video or quote with Snopes, as it is one of the unbiased sources that can actually be proven to be unbiased.
Adventure Van, snooping.
