Snopes used to be a website that cared about getting it right.
They have never cared about getting it right, they conclude with the same evidence that anyone with Google as their search engine could conclude.
Where the story may have originated from. After that they make biased opinion as a fact and declare it based on their preferred list of sources, or subject they approve of. Snopes started by a Couple that would read questions smoke a bowl, then type up their gut feeling. In between wild Swingers parties they threw(actually I'm not making that part up).
Then they started Snopeing Political opinions, that's when they really went off the rails.

I've been right more than Snopes had.
Had I wrote books for as long as I've been coming here. I probably wouldn't have sold one single book in those 11 years.
But I bet all of those books would be best sellers today.
The guy that had it right after the fact always sells the most books.
•Beheaded 600 Jews in one day
Everything has a silver lining.
Blaspheming Jews are supported by the Republican Christian Right.
They haven't even demanded that Jar-Jar Kushner be dealt with for his Blasphemy.
These wingnut Jew lovers will burn in hell along with blasphemers.
They have no response when they have no defense for their sin.
There is no proof for the existence of any god worshiped ,by man ,in history.

I used to quote snopes all the time to shut down stupid frothy internet mass emails. Now I don't bother. Snopes has morphed into a tool of the Leftists to establish the "truth" they want to establish.
Snopes used to be a website that cared about getting it right. It dispelled false rumors circulating the Internet and was a fairly reliable source of accurate information, particularly when it came to busting hoaxes.
My how times have changed.
In 2017, a billboard went up in Indianapolis which many people found offensive because it made unflattering accusations about Islam's prophet Muhammad, namely that he:
•Married a 6-year-old
•Owned and traded slaves
•Raped women
•Beheaded 600 Jews in one day
•Had 13 wives, including 11 at one time
•Tortured and killed non-Muslims
Each of these is found in established and respected Islamic sources. However, most articles in the mainstream media ignored this point and simply took the word of Muslim community leaders that the billboard is "cowardly," "outrageous," "bigoted," and "untrue."
One might expect better of Snopes. Surely a website for which credibility is everything would do its homework and publish an accurate article with references to the Hadith and Sira... or would it?
What Snopes produced instead was an article heavy on spin, light on truth. The billboard's message was rated "mostly false" and "no where near accurate." The only point conceded as "true" is that Muhammad had eleven wives. The others were dismissed (mostly on the opinion of a Muslim apologist who "can't think" of any reason why they would be true).
Here is how Snopes addressed each "False" or "Undetermined" point and why they are wrong:
