I don’t have it at my finger tips but I was reading one of their stories on an issue.

It was very slick, like a politician that is asked a question, talks for five minutes but does not address the issue.

They put up the questionable issue and the responses and then talked about only the responses. I got done reading it and was like “What, they never addressed the question?”. Went back and read it a couple more times, same opinion.

They are slick, very slick - just like a politician.

Snopes.com was featured in the April edition of Readers Digest. For most people that have heard of Snopes, this might be an eye opener as Snopes.com is a husband and wife team. Barbara and David Mikkelson.
A husband and wife team that pawned the fraud that Obama was born in Hawaii, with NO documentation to back up their claim, and the public - bought it, hook, line, and sinker!

Below is my post, posted here- again.

The issue with snopes is that they are Urban Legend hunters. When it came to the Obama birth certificate, they presented facts that were NOT true.
By them stating that Obama was born in Hawaii,they had no access to the “Vault” copy nor additional information. They lied, and they lied to the public big time.
When Congressmen and Senators tell their constituiants they verified Obama eligibility by checking snopes, we have a MAJOR problem.
Like I have stated before. Imagine John Kerry, standing in the Senate and stating “We know Saddam had WMD’s, cause we checked with Snopes” or Hillary verifying the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, because she checked with Snopes.

Persoanlly, I feel that Barbara and David Mikkelson, need to be charged with defrauding the public.
Make them in a court of law, prove how they determined where Obama was born or even that he was a natural born citizen.

They are slick, very slick - just like a politician.

Another way of saying that is, if they cannot dazzle you with brilliance they try to baffle you with BS. They often have as much Spin as they do fact.

I don’t like defending Snopes, but the scenario you mention could easily occur simply because they didn’t have any research material but felt compelled to say something. The results sound just like a politician.
