Definitely does not correct errors in their reporting with regard to conservative news. Bias reporting slanted toward liberal views. Not my go to for “the truth”. I tried it out in earlier years because people were sending me Snopes links in their e-mails to me.

I’m sure the liberal scallywags will fund it without blinking an eye.

From Dec, 2016

Facebook has announced plans to check for ‘fake news’ using a series of organizations to assess whether stories are true

One of them is a website called Snopes.com which claims to be one of the web’s ‘essential resources’ and ‘painstaking, scholarly and reliable’

It was founded by husband-and-wife Barbara and David Mikkelson, who used a letterhead claiming they were a non-existent society to start their research

Now they are divorced - with Barbara claiming in legal documents he embezzled $98,000 of company money and spent it on ‘himself and prostitutes’

In a lengthy and bitter legal dispute he is claiming to be underpaid and demanding ‘industry standard’ or at least $360,000 a year

The two also dispute what are basic facts of their case - despite Snopes.com saying its ‘ownership’ is committed to ‘accuracy and impartiality’

Snopes.com founder David Mikkelson’s new wife Elyssa Young is employed by the website as an administrator

She has worked as an escort and porn actress and despite claims website is non-political ran as a Libertarian for Congress on a ‘Dump Bush’ platform

Its main ‘fact checker’ is Kimberly LaCapria, whose blog ‘ViceVixen’ says she is in touch with her ‘domme side’ and has posted on Snopes.com while smoking pot

After they fail, they can lie and say that they are still in business and still lying for liberal $’s!

Running a business is complex and risky.

It’s even harder when you are STUPID enough to alienate your customers by being politically correct. Be honest and non-partisan and at least you have not created enemies.

Snopes gets free advertising from NYT, so NYT can continue to cite Snopes as an authority.
