the idea that "Michael Moore gets his facts wrong" is widespread, and Snpoes contributed to it.

Snopes perpetuated a myth due to poor research, exactly the opposite of what it claims to do. If Michael Moore got that info right, why wasn't Snopes able to do it? It's still not clear.

In addition to being wrong about the story, and apparently without even researching it, it takes the extra step of saying that Moore, the person who actually got the story right, "invented" it.

My bottom line to them when I'm emailing them is that they should just steer totally clear of stories with consequence like this.
