I did not notice any bias on Snopes.com. One thing I noticed is that some of the articles seemed to be supported more by personal experience and personal opinion that concrete facts. I had never heard of this site before, but it will be extremely helpful in the future to be able to quickly find the truth about the latest most controversial news stories.

Snopes.com
The website Snopes.com contains a number of articles that debunk the most recent internet gossip. The website is easy to navigate with different sections including: "What's New, Hot 50, Fast Check, and Other News." The homepage of the site contains articles about death hoax of numerous celebrities. The first article to catch my attention was an article about the old death hoax involving Eddie Murphy resurfacing in the weeks following the death of his brother Charlie Murphy. The story abut the death of Eddie Murphy involving a car crash was first published in October 2015. The story resurfaced recently for reasons unknown. Snopes.com makes its readers aware that this story and other stories like it are indeed a hoax. Another article on the site focused on a recent news story involving United Airlines. Recently a Kentucky doctor, David Dao, was filmed being dragged from the plane. The article reports that a settlement has been reached with the doctor, and includes a statement about the settlement.
