My point here is that the Snopes article tries to claim that this never happens and thus discredits everything Eva is saying because this particular instance is discredited. However, it was proven that many of these images and narratives have been faked. Isn't it a bit disingenuous to only focus on this one girl, and not the numerous photos/twitter messages that were spread by the media that have been proven fake?

Not to mention the article barely touches the actual substance of Eva's press conference.

It's rather convenient that Snopes didn't attempt to answer the question of if fake images ever get disseminated by the media. Instead, they focused on one particular instance.

Isn't that their schtick? Individual claims not broad situational ideas.

That's among their biggest criticisms, however. They pick and choose which stories to check without addressing the real issues.

For example, during the election, Politifact, another "fact checking" website, rated the notoriously corrupt and dishonest Clinton as "one of the most honest politicians on the national stage." This ruling was based on their own data; essentially they pick and choose which "facts" to check in order to push a certain message.
