You're right I'll go post a trigger warning... not!Seizures!

So Snopes simply reposted the police report that their investigation found it was nothing more than a homeless camp, not a child trafficing site.
"The Free Thought Project" is just whinging that their clickbait headline got them flagged as fake news, when they thought their use of quotation marks let them off for shitty, sensationalist reporting.
What a lack of effort. I'm more important than that, you cunt.
Time for some common sense media regulations.
Post #7:
The snopes articles is bullshit. They investigated nothing. At best this is an attempt to smear a website and at worst, they are attempting to cover for something possibly very dangerous to children.
All the website did was report what these veterans had come across. Nothing more.
Cliffs:
A group of veterans who patrol the dessert in Arizona hoping to help homeless veterans, came across a what they reported was "a child trafficking camp in the middle of Tucson."
CLAIM
A veteran group patrolling in Tucson, Arizona, found a child trafficking site.
RATING
False
ORIGIN
In late May and early June, conspiratorial web sites such as TheFreeThoughtProject.com reported that a veteran group had stumbled upon a “disturbing bunker” in Tucson, Arizona, that was being used for child sex trafficking:

Update: The supposed arbiters of truth at Snopes have attempted to claim that this story is false. For that reason, and without any other input, thousands of people who shared this article received notices from Facebook—who trusts an agency with a history of corruption to be their fact-checking source—that they shared fake news.
Snopes’ article attempting to debunk this story is nothing more than disinformation. They cannot prove this ‘claim’ to be ‘false’ as there was no claim ever made by us. The Free Thought Project merely reported on the activities of VOP and noted the possibility that this camp could also simply be a homeless camp. It’s why we used quotes in the title around “Child Trafficking Camp” because these were their words, not ours.
If Snopes is allowed to lie and punish those for reporting on this information—without recourse—the days of free information exchange are over. We have sent Snopes a cease and desist and will continue to report any information that we think our readers value....
Update 2: According to police, they brought through cadaver dogs. Well, according to a recent post by VOP, they missed one. Thursday afternoon, VOP posted a video of what they are calling a child’s remains on their Facebook page.
The team finds the child’s remains around the 10 minute mark in the video below.

They published what they were told by the veterans who witnessed it. Maybe the cops are lying? Maybe the veterans are lying? Does snopes care? Have they investigated? Or should they slap their little false image on it so people who are too cowardly to investigate for themselves can feel reassured?So Snopes simply reposted the police report that their investigation found it was nothing more than a homeless camp, not a child trafficing site.

So the cops and human trafficking experts investigated the site and the claim andd found nothing but snopes is lying

Somebody is lying and snopes misrepresented what the initial claim was and has made no investigation of the veterans actual claim.
Btw, there are plenty of 'bad' cop threads. Do we need another listing the times where child abuse was covered up by cops and child protective agencies, themselves? Never mind, we have snopes to let us know that that is false,
I'm not sure about this story in particular, but I've seen at least one instance where Snopes obviously misrepresented an issue by cherry picking one sliver of a story in order to "debunk," it.
Medical examiners have never lied either, right?As for their claim of finding a child's skull (which they found some 20 miles away mind you), the Medical Examiner determined otherwise.

Snopes lies about many things and have been caught numerous times. Use google or if you are too lazy, go to the snopes site yourself and see their explanation of how jet fuel and office crap can burn hot enough to liquefy steel.Let me guess... anti-vax related?
Why would the medical examiner lie? Did deep state pay them to?Medical examiners have never lied either, right?
Anyways, none of this is really the point. Snopes did a hit piece on a website. It was clearly unfair. The snopes claim was false.
