Snopes has always leaned slightly to the left. If the urban legend they're investigating is political, they'll give a little more weight to the left than the right.
this is where they decide what is, and what isn't... too many libs in that bunch
You all don't seem to understand that the ads that are on the Google results pages are from people who PAID Google to put them there in the first place. There are presently two pro-DeLay ads on the results page. If more pro-DeLay folk pay for those other slots, they can supplant those anti folk.
snopes.com for the past 2-3 years has lost any objectivity it may have had if politics are involved.
I believe that Google owns Bolgger.com and Blogspot.com .
its about like that Wikepeka (?) encyclopedia, anyone can login and rewite history there
Huh? The article said they TRIED to pay for an anti-Pelosi ad that was identical to an existing anti-Delay ad, and Google refused to let it run.
Ahhhh, so google knows they'll reach more people with their biased searches since more people cannot afford their fee.
If they had done that after that garbage movie by Moore came out, it would have helped them.
Screaming, yelling and calling Moore a liar, might have felt good for them, but Scopes was embarrassed by the whole thing. There is a partial apology to their behavior towards Moore.
However, based on that, I can't say I'd call them left leaning, but I do concede its possible they overcompensate.
That site is definatley wacked out, but snopes.com is actually only 2 people really.
The wife (she could be a sister) was the one who went insane on Moore in public and making a huge scene.
Either way, despite her apology, she and the other founder, did vote republican.
I don't know how that forum is associated with them, but snopes is a 2 man operation that mostly uses phone calls, internet research, a trip to the library and a quick run of the experts to come to its conclusions.
Thanks for the heads up on DogPile. I will now use them instead of Google.
bump / ping!
Try www.icerocket.com. It's a nice replacement for google.
You are most welcome. I hope it serves us well. ;)
Thanks for the link.
But the LIBERAL ad is still up. Click Here to take a look at the liberal ad; then look at our ad (and Google's rejection) by clicking here.
Having explained how your ad was created, this should be a slam dunk.
If it was a paid ad, and rejected, shouldn't Google be forced to divulge that they are contributing (probably illegally) to the Democratic party?
Hmmm... I was wondering why my (Conservative) Website has always been lacking on google's search engines. Yahoo has what, much less than half the volume, but has twice as many hits? Not saying I'm convinced bias is a factor, but I'd like to know if others have similar issues:
Links from an Internet Search Engine - Full list
- Yahoo 113 146
- Google 64 64
- MSN 35 35
- Ask Jeeves 8 8
- Netscape 4 4
- Dogpile 3 3
- Google (Images) 3 3
- Mamma 2 2
- AOL 1 1
- Ask Jeeves UK 1 1
- Others 2 2
(this is all from the first few days of may)
Can't get any more clear and blatant than that.
Interestingly enough Google insiders are selling like gangbusters.

This stock will be a good short soon.
none of those email addresses work from gmail.
