That said, professional fact-checking organizations like Snopes, Politifact, and FactCheck.org are extremely valuable (as are science and skepticism websites that often play the role of fact-checker); however, these sources are valuable not because they are authoritative, but rather precisely because they are transparent and cite their sources. I'd never suggest that someone should blindly believe a source like Snopes, but the break-down of why and how they came to their conclusion and what sources they used is incredibly useful. You don't have to blindly believe fact-checkers because you can look at their sources and verify what they are saying! You can also cross-check multiple fact-checkers to see if they are in agreement or if one has uncovered information that the others missed. https://thelogicofscience.com/2024/04/25/yes-you-should-fact-check/
