First article I have read about this from a site like Forbes and where they have actually tried to contact Snopes to see if the article is true.

The Daily Mail’s article makes a number of claims about the site’s principles and organization...
Unless they're referring to the principles under which the site was founded and operates, I'm thinking that the word they want is principals.

I had assumed...

I had assumed....

Sounds like this guy did not do any fact checking just assumed.

Aren't reporters suppose to check things out for themselves?

From what I've read Snopes is filled with lefties.

Snopes has put out hundreds of articles per day for years in support of their god in the white mosque.

Have been wondering what would happen when the Mikkelsons have to pay federal income tax again.

Wonder what Al Sharpton’s plan is....

The author of this piece is shocked, shocked, that on close examination Snopes.com appears to be disreputable.

I guess he doesn't read FR.

Snopes USED to be a decent site. Now, it is CLEARLY a leftwing hack site.

Jim, I make a plea again to you to consider removing snopes as a credible source on the homepage of FR. :)

Good post. I always thought Snopes was leftist based on which news they decided to check.

Snopes is nothing but a pack of leftard scumbags, still yearning for the sixties.

Unfortunately, Forbes is another one of those sites that blocks readers who use AdBlock. Since I refuse to turn it off, all I need to do is read the brilliant comments by my fellow FReepers to know the real deal.

“as I had assumed that a fact checking site as reputable as Snopes”

Uh, yeah. Right. Proves the author is a complete idiot.

Snopes CEO Accused in Divorce Proceedings of Embezzling Company Money to Spend on Prostitutes

Breitbart ^ | 12-22-2016 | Luke Nolan

Posted on 12/29/2016, 12:46:16 PM by brucedickinson

The CEO of Snopes.com, the fact-checking website that was recently named as one of Facebook’s “fake news” arbiters, has been accused in divorce proceedings of appropriating company funds which he allegedly spent on expensive holidays and prostitutes. David has remarried since his divorce from Barbara in 2014.

His current wife, Elyssa Young, works as an administrative worker at Snopes, but she previously had a lengthy career as an escort and adult film star working under the name Erin O’Bryn. Reviews for Young’s “services” have been left on her personal escort website as recently as 2015. Young’s websites and Twitter account describe her as “a mature and experienced courtesan, idealist, activist & dreamer.”

Her website further states, “Here’s the donation I request for my time, companionship, and entertainment” with “non-negotiable” rates of $1,200 for her minimum four hours and $5,000 for 24 hours.

I saw Snopes Dude and his (alleged) Escort Babe last night (New Year's Eve) in Tacoma, WA.

We were in the LeRoy Jewelry shop on Broadway, watching a demonstration of a Makah Native American Basket Weaver.

I took a couple of cell pictures and a good close look.

I'm pretty sure Laz wouldn't hit it.
