'Fact checking' website Snopes on verge of collapse after founder is accused of fraud, lies.
Fact-checking website Snopes is on the verge of financial collapse after its owner was accused of embezzling company funds to pay for his contentious divorce battle and lavish overseas trips with his new wife, a former Las Vegas escort and porn actress.
The company's financial woes have gotten so bad that Snopes' owner David Mikkelson started a crowd-funding website pleading for donations this week, which raised over $500,000 from generous readers in its first day. But DailyMail.com can disclose significant facts which are entirely missing from the fact-checking website's version of events - including the fraud allegations against Mikkeslon. Snopes.com was started by David Mikkelson and his ex-wife Barbara in the mid-1990s as a website that debunked myths and urban legends. ![]() Lavish salary': Court papers show that Mikkeslon is at the center of the legal dispute over claims that he tried to commit fraud to obtain his salary, put escorts expenses, used company funds to pay legal fees for his divorce and honeymooned with his new wife Elyssa Young on expenses Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4730092/Snopes-brink-founder-accused-fraud-lying.html#ixzz4s6jDsfJV Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook

and his cat lady helper on their pink pussy hat couch.

5. And yet facts remain facts
Thie Daily Mail has been running hit pieces on snopes for some time now, and yet it doesn't change the verifiable facts they have aggregated at their site.

13. Feel free to post your evidence
That half of Snope's verifications are false.
You can't do it. The few errors they have made, they have admitted and corrected. |

18. Three examples equals half?
And what the fuck is up with righty's infatuation with eating dicks? It's like their go-to comeback.
They get a little bit miffed, and it's *** POOF *** "Eat a dick". Freud would have a field day with you kids. |

20. And while I feel the same way about Trump and many of his fanboys ...
somehow eating dicks never comes to mind.
That was your fallback response. I just wonder why? ![]() |

21. So you got nothin
It's your assertion, burden of proof is on you.
Most of Snope's articles post links to original source material, so those with critical thinking skills can verify the evidence, rather than just accepting memes, tropes and talking points uncritically. |

23. LOL- links to Daily Caller, Free Republic...
And other lying RW websites? "Snope's lies and spins for Hillary again"
You lose- no independently verifiable evidence refuting the evidence Snope's links to in their articles. Again, your assertion "half of what Snope's calls 'fact' is pure bullshit" remains just your opinion, unsubstantiated by evidence. If it was supported, you would have linked to original sources that refuted Snope's sources, and not linked to RW propaganda sites. Furthermore, personal attacks and insults reveal your awareness of the flimsy basis for your original assertion. |
