So, is it your opinion that the entire organization should be condemned for the actions of one?

Generally I think Snopes is a reliable fact checker and use them sometimes. But they have a political bias that makes their political fact checks suspect. No I don’t think the entire organization should be condemned but neither do I find it refreshing when the lie occurred right under their nose. FOX has fessed up too, most notable their cash cow Bill O’Riley got his walking papers.
