Ladies and gentlemen, it's finally happened. One of my posts has been fact-checked by Snopes. Today is a day that will go down in low quality history.

Clint Eastwood Once Said, 'Don't Tell Me the Patriarchy Still Exists'?

The Hollywood star's alleged statement was shared on social media throughout 2024.

@lowqualityfacts This is why Sarcasm needs a font. ๐Ÿ˜†

@lowqualityfacts

Ooh! Congrats.
Also, you seem to be a "network" now. Go you and all your imaginary workers!

@lowqualityfacts that's made your day hasn't itโ€ฆ
@lowqualityfacts That is MAGNIFICENT! You have truly arrived.

@lowqualityfacts I'd like to see Snopes cover this statement, that they put forth as a fact, in the same manner they treat satire posts...

******
As Mikkelson once put it, the newsroom does not "pick and choose'' what it covers based on personal preferences or political leanings, nor do fact-checkers rely on their own viewpoints of what's "important."

@lowqualityfacts if it's on Snopes it must be true
@lowqualityfacts Congratulations on this important day!
@lowqualityfacts hmm, that definitely is low quality fact checking. They didnโ€™t even ask Clint for a response
@lowqualityfacts Putting "smile and laugh" in quotes like that feels like an attack.
@lowqualityfacts wow! You have hit the big time! Congratulations.
@lowqualityfacts I like how itโ€™s not labeled โ€˜Falseโ€™. So it would actually hold up in low quality court.

@lowqualityfacts

LQF reports that Snopes fact-checked a post.

Sounds like a low-quality fact to me.

@@lowqualityfacts
Enjoying this post just as much, actually a bit more, than the typical LQF.
@lowqualityfacts
Wait!?! Snopes is claiming that you are satire?!? But, but your last name is "facts", how can they label you as satire when your name is "facts"? Someone is wrong here.
@lowqualityfacts wow

who wouldve expected an account named 'low quality facts' would post low quality facts ...

its always the ones you least expect .
@lowqualityfacts Mate, well done! "Labelled Satire", indeed ๐Ÿ˜‚
@lowqualityfacts Seriously. I would have to question the mental acuity of someone who pushed a meme from a channel called "Low Quality Facts" to Snopes for a fact-check. I mean, WTAF?!
@lowqualityfacts
Truly a momentous moment in this moment in time! Congrats!! ๐Ÿฅณ ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿฅณ ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿฅณ ๐ŸŽ‰
@lowqualityfacts Congratulations! What higher praise would one need?!
@lowqualityfacts This one just makes me think of Ron DeSantis on a date pronouncing โ€œThai foodโ€ like โ€œthigh foodโ€ and rejecting any woman who corrects him.
@lowqualityfacts congratulations. We started at the bottom now we are here ..
@lowqualityfacts Congratulations! You're still more credible than the Da!ly Ma!l.

@lowqualityfacts Ha, nice. They fact-checked a photo I published a long time ago, and coincidentally, involved a duck too!
One of my most famous photos.

The Thieving Duck

A duck robs a poor innocent woman as sheโ€™s distracted by the cute ducklings. Moments later they all rush off with their ill-gotten gains! What you donโ€™t see is the camera crew, make-up โ€ฆ

@lowqualityfacts It reads almost like an ad for your page.
โ€œHere are also some funny responses to their Eastwood post.โ€

Congrats!

@lowqualityfacts at least you acknowledged the fact was low quality.
@lowqualityfacts Amazing. Thanks for adding to internet discourse :)
@lowqualityfacts Itโ€™s especially cool, given the low quality ads that festoon the Snopes page. It is almost like you inspired them.
@lowqualityfacts that is like the internet EGOT. you may now retire.
but please don't.
@lowqualityfacts I knew the guy from the Gorillaz couldn't have said this.
@lowqualityfacts I believe you've got the picture wrong. Clint Eastwood was the tall black basketball player I'm afraid
@lowqualityfacts That's nice! ๐Ÿ”ฅ I remember Dirty Eastwood also said dumb stuff like "Nobody, I mean nobody puts ketchup on a hot dog." He's every which way but cool.
@lowqualityfacts Still a Repugnican c**t, though.
@lowqualityfacts Well that means the problem is solved. I guess I donโ€™t need this anymore
@lowqualityfacts

Well done. Your much deserved invalidation.

@lowqualityfacts

Congrats! Even the Snopes article itself is humorous.

@lowqualityfacts Oh wow, snopes went adblocker-scoldy.
@lowqualityfacts But did Clint say "Go ahead, make my bed"?

@lowqualityfacts

Seems like it took them some time to spot the satire.

You need to try harder.
