My point is that selecting anything as a source of truth leads to assumptions.

Yeah ok but does the study assume that snopes is a source of truth? This sounds like a self fulfilling statement.
You either agree with snopes or you fall in the misinformation category, by axiom.

I concede that I do not know as I'm not american and do not follow snopes, but is it wrong in general to assume that a singular outlet is not an absolute source of truth?
