    "One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."

    Did Snopes say the story is true?
    Hope is the denial of reality

    What is Snopes?
    Faith is Hope (see Loki's sig for details)
    If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?

    A quasi-serious fact checking site. Typically debunks things people already know are dumb. For example:

    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mlk-hospital-photo/

    What they say is true of course but what kind of retard would actually believe this sort of absurd myth in the first place?

    They were also made fun of awhile ago for fact checking the satirical publication The Babylon Bee.

    I honestly don't understand your insistence on embarrassing yourself by repeatedly referencing those sad cringelords, but the answer to your question is "Republicans":

    Thank you for making my point. No one thinks Babylon Bee is anything other than satire, ditto with the Onion. Snopes fact checks primarily things that anyone with 2 seconds and internet access could also debunk (like the MLK example).
