I find it laughable how much stock people are putting into certain websites such as wikipedia and snopes.

IDK why they seem to be the current "standard" for information, but I don't trust anything like those sites 100% of the time, as some do.
With the availability of the internet also comes the potential for finding out truth on your own, that and using common sense and what you learned in school too. (Such as what things are political and what are economic.) Don't rely upon one site to give you fully trustworthy information, it just doesn't exist.
