The Titanic sub relied on Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite tech for communications, “fact check” site Snopes.com confirmed — before switching to “unproven” … then “false.”
All in the span of a single day.
In other words, Snopes initially asserted that the doomed sub used Starlink, with zero backup — and then admitted as much when it cravenly changed its rating.
Gee, funny how these “fact checks” only ever try to make figures deemed right-wing, like Musk, look bad (in this case by implying he bore some distant blame for the Titan tragedy).
Funnier still how Snopes spread actual disinformation, given that its stated mission is to combat it.
But that’s all too common in the fact-checking industry, which hammered Donald Trump but runs interference for Joe Biden and other favored figures.
Snopes — to pick one of many examples — insisted that the 100% real Biden plan to hand out free crack pipes was “mostly false.”

Facebook suppressed on similar grounds a February 2020 Post column raising the “lab leak” theory of COVID’s origin — now completely vindicated.
Twitter did basically the same to our reporting on first son Hunter Biden’s laptop, also totally true.
And this is to say nothing of the shady ties such efforts have to shadowy outfits all buddy-buddy with intel services and other government insiders.
Look, we’re a newspaper: We love facts and holding powerful people’s feet to the fire!
Snopes & Co. are doing the opposite, running disinfo campaigns for the online left.
As Musk himself said: It’s all a “con.”
