but the RW nuts will dismiss it as "its not the free press anymore" its all liberal bias. I actually saw a RW friend on facebook today posting a meme trying to discredit snopes.com. I've heard from Repub friends that snopes is nothing but a soros funded left wing site. (mostly cause it doesnt confirm all their crackpot beliefs i'm sure)

and, yes, they do tend to dump on conspiracy theories, which are mostly from the right, though not all.

if I recall, is based on the fact that one of the founders *used* to be a Democrat, which made her biased. Of course, the other person that used to be a Republican is innocent of any potential bias. Maybe my memory is faulty, though.

But, I think it's indisputable that the right is far more likely to use "fake" memes, emails, messages, etc than the left.

He is not afraid to look silly, and he looks like he is enjoying himself.

and, he is definitely liberal in his point of view.

After The Force Awakens came out and some MRA types got their panties in a bunch about Rey not being a realistic character because she was too strong and too competent (i.e., she was female), he posted this in response:

?w=450

Which is a takeoff of Luke carrying Yoda in Empire Strikes Back.



But, what's also cool, and what he's been doing for a long time, is confirming to fans if the "authentic" Mark Hamill signature on a piece of Star Wars memorabilia is actually authentic. Most celebs wouldn't take the time.
