I knew it was too good to be true but I really hoped it was true because there are some people I believe are actually that stupid. Now someone will see the story and be so stupid they will try it. ⊙.☉

snopes owners voted for obama twice and are all in

than Internet searches.

I know people who voted for Obama and realize what a mistake they made so I don't have any ill will toward them. Snopes did point out that this particular story had been spread across The Internet as different people in different states and countries. There are sites that post very entertaining FAKE news stories all the time. The particular part of the male anatomy discussed in the story is quite sensitive and I doubt dipping it into an electroplating bath with energized electrodes attached to it could be tolerated by a human male without a spinal tap. Believe what you wish but the story is very entertaining. ヽ(•‿•)ノ

The Snopes owners are Canadian. How would they
vote in US election?

----------------------------------------------

https://www.truthorfiction.com/snopes/

As with many forwarded emails, the criticism did not include any example
of what the writer of the email claimed was the difference between what
Snopes.com reported and what Barack Obama had actually said.

Snopes.com is an excellent site that has become an authoritative source
for information about urban legends and forwarded emails. We regard
David and Barbara Mikkelson, the founders and operators of Snopes.com,
as colleagues and professional researchers who have earned a good
reputation for what they do.

We can give a unique perspective on this story because we do the same
kind of work as Snopes.com and have sometimes been the target of similar
criticism.

We’ve got a collection of emails that have come to TruthOrFiction.com
accusing us of being “right wing whackos” as well as “liberals” and
“communists.” We’ve been suspected of being owned and operated by both
Republicans and Democrats. We’ve been called “Christian propagandists”
as well as “atheists pretending to be neutral.” We occasionally receive
emails that have elaborate theories about who “really” owns us and what
our “real” motives are.

The bottom line is that if you try to report the truth, there will be
those who don’t like the truth you’ve reported and who will develop
suspicions about why you did.

That, in our view, is what is happening with Snopes.

The 2008 presidential campaign has been one of the most intense and
unique in our nation’s history and has prompted more political eRumors
than any presidential campaign in our experience, especially about
Barack Obama.

These anti-Snopes emails have probably been prompted by someone who does
not like Barack Obama and does not like the fact that Snopes (or
TruthOrFiction.com for that matter) has debunked some of the emails that
are not true about him.

One of the versions of the eRumor mentions TruthOrFiction.com and
recommends our site. We appreciate that, but we want to say for the
record that we’ve had nothing to do with this eRumor about Snopes.com
and we condemn it.

Snopes Exposed?

In August 2010 this rumor morphed when President Obama appointed Elena
Kagan to the Supreme Court. An August 4, 2010 World Net Daily article
alleged that this was a political payback for several cases questioning
the President’s citizenship that were denied by Kagan. Snopes reported
that these allegations were false. Shortly after that inboxes were
flooded with emails with the subject header “Snopes Exposed!” alleging
that they lied about their findings to protect Obama.

TruthOrFiction.com also investigated this rumor and found that World Net
Daily released the story but the filed court cases did not question the
President’s birth records.

World Net Daily corrected the story and posted a comment that said, “An
earlier version of this story incorrectly described a series of cases
for which Elena Kagan represented the government as eligibility cases.
Those cases, in fact, were a series of unrelated disputes pending before
the Supreme Court and the references have been removed from this
report.” Click here for our findings.

The George Soros Connection?

In 2011 this eRumor once again went viral with the additional allegation
that George Soros was financing Snopes. Snopes denies this on the
F.A.Q. page on their website. Soros has been known to contribute to
MoveOn.Org and Media Matters.

Synopsis: A viral message circulating since the 2008 presidential
election alleges that the hoax-debunking website Snopes.com is "owned by
a flaming liberal" who is "in the tank for Obama" and can't be trusted
to provide unbiased information. Is it true? Has anyone offered any
proof to back it up?


You'd think it would be easy for someone so blithely asserting that
the owners of Snopes.com are "flaming liberals" to offer evidence that
they're "in the tank" for Obama and "covering up" for him. None is provided.

Oh come on, Snopes just happened to research it and it would have been time consuming and cumbersome if I had to go to every source. I'm sure Google supports the likes of Progressive Liberal Leftist Commiecrat Freaks, so should I have used Google? Perhaps if the story included that Gold Member was an Obama supporter, the story would have been more believable? I'm skeptical of anything I see on The Internet, even something I write. \(◦'⌣'◦)/

I think I want a subscription to News8Now.

"Earlier hoaxes perpetuated by Now8News included claims a man was found
having sex with a pig in the bathroom of a Walmart; aborted fetuses were
used to make Chicken McNuggets; Walmart bananas were infested with deadly
parasitic worms; KFC was found breeding mutated chickens; a woman was
arrested after engaging in a sex act with a breakfast sausage; a separate
woman was arrested for "trying on" feminine hygiene products at Walmart;
a man fed the remains of his unfaithful fiancee to her parents; and a
man was discovered cannibalizing a teen inside a haunted house attraction."

I have yet to find anything where they have erroneously declared
something True that was false or false that was true. Since you seem
to believe otherwise, please list which things they have been wrong
about.

So did you. UM asked for instances to support your assertion that
Snopes is unreliable. Instead of instances you went ad-hominum. (or

Usually it is not a matter of true or false but of shading. Snopes is
left leaning.

Most libs fail to recognize that the media they follow has a lib slant.

I had to laugh the other day about a lib complaining about the NYT with
stories slanted against other libs while completely denying the blatant
lib stance of their other articles against conservatives.

If you fail the reason for yourself and let others do it for you, that
is the definition of stupid.
