The Mail Online website which is one of those sites known for publishing Fake News and then having a hissy fit when sites like Snopes, Politifact and other fact checking sites call them out for their false stories is lashing out as it and other Fake News sites are being more closely scrutinized by social media giant Facebook with help from sites like snopes to flag Fake News Stores and help cut down on the number of these kinds of stories that are shared on the social media site.
Well as you can imagine the Fake News sites like The Mail Online and BraitBart are not happy about this. In fact The Mail Online published an article recently about Snopes trying to cast doubt on the site and its fact checking reliability by bringing up things from the founding couple, David and Barbara Mikkelson's personal life and divorce that have nothing to do with the ability of the site to fact check. The Fake News sites have no real argument for doing what they do so they have to attack the source.
