Fact ChecksUnfounded (retired)
Unfounded (retired) Snopes no longer uses this rating. Previously, it applied to claims for which there was no demonstratable evidence to support them and that originated as hearsay, speculation or groundless rumors. Snopes now labels claims unfounded, as well as summarizes important context and our research efforts, in bulleted key points at the top of articles. Learn more about our rating system here.
