I'm sure the usual cast of characters will be along any second to say. What Evidence?? How do you know?/
Sorry to rain on your parade.

Sorry to rain on your parade...But snopes.com and their owners have long been exposed as political hacks that don't get to the bottom of anything.....
In short, when someone attempted to fact check the fact checker, the response was the equivalent of “it's secret.”

Here's another source people who use snopes.com may be interested in.....

It appears that the attacks on Snopes are coming from both sides.

[Edit] - I linked that because it shows that Snopes is balanced.
So, Snopes credibility, already under attack by the political right, is tanking. Their work, possibly legitimately fact-checked, is now potentially questionable on the basis of their fact checkers being unqualified or obviously partisan. Worse, it appears they do not have a solid methodology for fact checking, which does not mesh with their commitment for the IFCN. From Forbes:
At Snopes, fact checking is the core function of an article and thus if multiple people contributed to a fact check, it is surprising that absolutely no mention is made of them, given that at a newspaper all reporters contributing to a story are listed. Not only does this rob those individuals of credit, but perhaps most critically, it makes it impossible for outside entities to audit who is contributing to what fact check and to ensure that fact checkers who self-identify as strongly supportive or against particular topics are not assigned to fact check those topics to prevent the appearance of conflicts of interest or bias.
Also noted by Forbes is the fact that the Snopes writers do not contact the authors of the articles they attempt to fact-check.
