Snopes editor defends USA Today fact-checker by noting what is the 'hallmark of an exceptional journalist'

Yesterday we told you about one of the biggest fact-check fails of the year.

The fact-checker, after a lot of criticism, then played the victim:

An editor of Snopes defended Funke, saying that getting things wrong and then somewhat fixing them later is the mark of an excellent journalist. No, seriously:

Legit LOL on that one!

And are they really “mistakes” if they always only fall in one direction?

The hack do stick together, don’t they?

Just like Funke, the Snopes editor turned off the replies in the name of exceptional journalism.
