Snopes Beclowns Itself

[Steve]

But my point was that Trumps election promises were only posted by Snopes tp make him, a Republican, look bad. Remember the OP? This discussion is about Snopes, not Trump.

I do not accept that you know the reasons things are posted on Snopes. Your point is not valid.

So Rx prices have gone up in spite of Trump's election promise to reduce them, have I got that right?

Looking for the article about Alex Smith who died because he wouldn't spend money on couldn't afford to buy insulin. One of the first paragraphs mention that Rx prices are going up "in spite of Trumps election promises". Bias anybody?

FTFY

You misunderstood the Snoopes article, the first paragraph states:

"An Associated Press*analysis*published in late September 2018 warned that prescription drug prices in the United States were still rising precipitously despite President Trump’s*vow*to reduce them. During the first seven months of the year, the report said, prescription drug prices saw 96 increases for every cut."

That is reporting what another report stated.

Here's another classic example of Snopes' "bend over backwards to find a way to say the Republicans were wrong."

Once again you bend over backwards to justify Republican lies. The claim is unproven, unless you have proof.

Ah, so Kamala's dad is a Republican? Now it makes sense!

Will you be addressing the actual point anytime?

Because of a thred here called "Perseverance porn", I just went to the Snopes. Looking for the article about Alex Smith who died because he wouldn't spend money on insulin. One of the first paragraphs mention that Rx prices are going up "in spite of Trumps election promises". Bias anybody?

Given that the page is titled "Did Alex Smith Die at Age 26 Because He Couldn’t Afford Insulin?", the story originated in a political advert and Smith died in 2017 (after Trump made his false claims regarding insulin prices) I fail to see the problem.

Yes. Trump has also lied several times about price decreases.
