but
After the Wall Street Journal wrote an article on the increases, those same executives cut their salaries to $1. This is what pisses me off about Snopes, which is a VERY left-leaning source of anything: They say the article is true, but then go on to say all the raises were given back and salaries reduced to $1. How can Snopes, with a straight face, say the article about executive pay raises is true, and then report they were recanted?
Moral: Don't trust Snopes for anything.
I take anything from snopes with a grain of salt.
