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 (http://www.snopescom/ 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 California started
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 the Internet, '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 trust Snopes.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 aboutSnopes.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.
