To me, Snopes is a reliable fact-checking resource, and always has been.

Note that in this apology, there is no mention that anything plagiarized was untrue. Facts are still facts, no matter where they came from, and whether or not you credited its source correctly or not.

If I say Thomas Edison invented the first electric refrigerator, I would be wrong. The credit for that invention goes to Fred W. Wolf.

However, the fact that the electric refrigerator was invented, can't be disputed. It's still fact, regardless of who invented it.

I completely agree with everything you said, and that is WHY I included the "refreshing" comment. I personally consider any source that has NEVER put out a retraction or correction to be lacking in credibility.
