Subject: Snopes exposed
Snopes receives funding from an undisclosed source. The source is undisclosed
because Snopes refuses to disclose that source. The Democratic Alliance, a
funding channel for uber-Leftist (Marxist) Billionaires (George Soros etc.),
direct funds to an "Internet Propaganda Arm" pushing these views. The Democratic
Alliance has been reported to instruct Fundees to not disclose their funding
source.
For the past few years (www.snopes.com/ has positioned itself, or others have
labeled it, as the 'tell-all final word' on any comment, claim and email. But
for several years people tried to find out who exactly was behind snopes.com. It
is run by a husband and wife team - that's right, no big office of investigators
and researchers, no team of lawyers. It's just a mom-and-pop operation that
began as a hobby. David and Barbara Mikkelson in the San Fernando Valley
of Californiastarted the website about 13 years ago and they have no formal
background or experience in investigative research.
The reason for the questions - or skepticisms - is a result
of snopes.com claiming to have the bottom line facts to certain questions or
issue when in fact they have been proven wrong. Also, there were criticisms the
Mikkelsons were not really investigating and getting to the 'true' bottom of
various issues.
A few months ago, when my State Farm agent Bud Gregg in Mandeville hoisted a
political sign referencing Barack Obama and made a big splash across
theInternet, 'supposedly' the Mikkelson's claim to have researched this issue
before posting their findings on snopes.com. In their statement they claimed the
corporate office of State Farm pressured Gregg into taking down the sign, when
in fact nothing of the sort 'ever' took place. I personally contacted David
Mikkelson (and he replied back to me) thinking he would want to get to the
bottom of this and I gave him Bud Gregg's contact phone numbers - and Bud was
going to give him phone numbers to the big exec's at State Farm in Illinois who
would have been willing to speak with him about it. He never called Bud. In
fact, I learned from Bud Gregg that no one from snopes.com ever contacted anyone
with State Farm.
Yet, snopes.com issued a statement as the 'final factual word' on the issue as
if they did all their homework and got to the bottom of things - not!
Then it has been learned the Mikkelson's are very Democratic (party) and
extremely liberal. As we all now know from this presidential election, liberals
have a purpose agenda to discredit anything that appears to be conservative.
There has been much criticism lately over the Internet with people pointing out
the Mikkelson's liberalism revealing itself in their website findings. Gee, what
a shock?
So, I say this now to everyone who goes to snopes.com to get what they think to
be the bottom line fact 'proceed with caution.' Take what it says at face value
and nothing more. Use it only to lead you to their references where you can link
to and read the sources for yourself. Plus, you can always search a subject and
do the research yourself.
I have found this to be true also! Many videos of Obama I tried to verify on
Snopes and they said they were False. Then they gave their liberal slant! I have
suspected some problems with snopes for some time now, but I have only caught
them in half-truths. If there is any subjectivity they do an immediate full left
rudder.
I have recently discovered that Snopes.com is owned by a flaming liberal and
this man is in the tank for Obama. There are many things they have listed on
their site as a hoax and yet you can go to You tube yourself and find the video
of Obama actually saying these things. So you see, you cannot and should not
trustSnopes.com, ever for anything that remotely resembles truth! I don't even
trust them to tell me if email chains are hoaxes anymore.
A few conservative speakers on MySpace told me about Snopes.com. A few months
ago and I took it upon myself to do a little research to find out if it was
true. Well, I found out for myself that it is true. Anyway just FYI please don't
use Snopes.com anymore for fact checking and make your friends aware of their
political leanings as well. Many people still thinkSnopes.com is neutral and
they can be trusted as factual. We need to make sure everyone is aware that that
is a hoax in itself.
