The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

For John, BLUFwho watches the watchman?  Nothing to see here; just move along.



Fact-Checking Snopes:  Website’s Political ‘Fact-Checker’ Is Just A Failed Liberal Blogger

It is The Daily Caller and associate editor Peter Hasson.

Here is the lede plus two:

Popular myth-busting website Snopes originally gained recognition for being the go-to site for disproving outlandish urban legends -such as the presence of UFOs in Haiti or the existence of human-animal hybrids in the Amazon jungle.

Recently, however, the site has tried to pose as a political fact-checker. But Snopes’ “fact-checking” looks more like playing defense for prominent Democrats like Hillary Clinton and it’s political “fact-checker” describes herself as a liberal and has called Republicans “regressive” and afraid of “female agency.”

Snopes’ main political fact-checker is a writer named Kim Lacapria. Before writing for Snopes, Lacapria wrote for Inquisitr, a blog that — oddly enough — is known for publishing fake quotes and even downright hoaxes as much as anything else.

This is what those on the non-Progressive side always thought.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.

  In contrast to those of us who are the real, the classical liberals.  Yes, Rush is wrong to call Progressives Liberals.
