Then the questions become who owns/runs truthorfiction.com, and what is their background.

I stopped buying insurance from State Farm, when it’s management started using pro-feminist, anti-family policies during the ‘90s.

And BTW, I don’t care about Snopes. There are other sites that debunk popular myths.

I read about the Mikkelson’s Leftist bias many years ago. I only check their site on occasions of blatant non political FW type crap that comes to my email. Then I take their response with a grain of salt.

Personally I always use Factcheck.org, Google news or call the DNC directly. If that doesn’t work I’ll check in with George Soros.

This establishes it. Snopes is untrustworthy.

Snopes...wasn’t that the name of a family of trashy barn burners and thieves in Faulkner’s stories?
