What Snopes is
Snopes is a fact-checker — Independent fact-checking website. nwsly does not include it in the source pool the app builds your daily five from; this page exists as a bias-and-factuality reference for readers comparing it against the outlets nwsly does cite.
Where Snopes lands
nwsly places Snopes at Lean Left with a factuality rating of High, using the same two-layer method we apply to every source — cross-referenced against AllSides, Media Bias/Fact Check, and Ad Fontes, then reconciled in-house. Our full methodology is public.
Why this is a reference page, not a source
nwsly's product is a finite daily brief synthesized from straight-news reporting. Fact-checkers like Snopes sit outside that remit — so we rate them for transparency without drawing coverage from them. See every source we do use.
