Snopes, the fact-checking website that once focused on debunking flimsy internet rumors but has expanded into a 16-person operation that calls out political leaders for dishonesty, is locked in a legal battle that it says has drained the money it needs to survive.
The site, which gets all of its revenue from advertising, created a crowdfunding page on Monday, seeking $500,000 from readers to remain operational indefinitely. It says that Proper Media, the vendor that runs its advertising services, has withheld the site’s revenue and has refused to relinquish control of the site. That leaves Bardav — the company that owns and operates Snopes — with no way of moving the site to a new host or installing its own ads, said David Mikkelson, a founder of the site.

She's good, no denying that. So was Bernie Madoff. He'd be my second choice.
Whats the matter Snopes?
Did the Soros, 0bama and Clinton checks bounce?
After their credibility was finally shot there was diminished benafit to Soros.
The money is better spent raising up a new propaganda tool.
At one point they were an interesting and provocative site that debunked urban legends. Then they somehow became considered experts on everything when it was really just an old ho and her pimp in a trailer in Vegas. I wonder if the plan is to have Organizing For America fill their coffers with 25 dollar donations.
I thought they were supported and controlled by the Hillary Campaign?
The Sn in the word Snopes is one of those rare instances in which Sn is pronounced as a D.
I wouldnt be too sure. You think its gotten that chubby eating domestic mice from under the fridge? We know it wasnt stealing from petty cash for Ahi sushi, no pockets. Im betting company credit card, internet, foie gras.
OMG! THATS where the $98000 went!
Wow, the whole Snopes thing is a mess, prostitutes, drugs, embezzling, divorce, etc.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Liberalism is a mental disease.
[a 16-person operation that calls out political leaders for dishonesty]
HA. Had they ever told THE TRUTH about Obama and Hillary, the DNC would have killed them. Like they have several others.
Good riddance, Snopes. I won’t wish you “Goodbye”.
And yet people still use them.....SMH
WND caught them in their Obama birth hospital error which they tried to hide.
Karma is a .....well you know.
$319K now..... so many suckers!!!
This is just a money grab from shysters who screwed up their lives and now want web donors to bail them out.
They really screwed up when they went from debunking urban myths into political “fact checking.”
I completely agree. When I first heard of snopes, I was on that site for HOURS.
They researched things like the the "candy poisonings" on halloween.
Once they went full retard leftist, they were just a joke.
Never go full retard.
The only people who nowadays cite snopes as an actual "legit" source of information are dupes and fools.
They don't even seem to do any research, themselves. They basically copy and paste the liberal conventional wisdom, which is no doubt furnished by places like media matters.
ANOTHER bogus site, with questionable finances and sexual impropriety galore.
Soros money can only go so far.
They can't cover up *everything*.
Eventually David Brock's shenanigans came out for the world to see.
Snopes attracts dopes.
Internet rumor that Snopes is asking for money to survive.
Our finding: False.
