Not the objective truth finder you may have thought it was?

Fact-checking website co-founder accused of embezzling money for prostitutes.

"While none of these accusations (smoking weed at work, embezzling company funds, or being a porn star/escort) is in itself disqualifying per se, the fact that ALL THREE are occurring at the same website that holds itself out as the arbiter of truth is laughable."

I put this under Humor because I find the Left so funny...

    Snopes is two fat guys and their cat, and is hardly objective. They are about as objective ... as Politico, which is to say they are not.

        Me likes Snoopen for Dupes better.
        Consider yourself edited.
        I can do that, you know.
        I took a Troy State Univeristy class in editing toward my journalism degree back around 1972.
        So there.

          I was making the connection between snoo and doo sounds. I have artistic license when new words are formed...laughing

          I was the author of the post therefore the authority on that subject in context.

            The following statement is superbly enhanced by a snotty English accent~
            So you have a degree in "artistic license," oih suppose.

                Can you to a degree explain why I had a scheduled dental checkup appointment at 1PM CT today and I just drove back from a closed office?

                    They did not call me. I have Vonage, which means I can both hear and read a misspelled phone message in my email.
                    The only good thing is that their office is a 5-minute drive from here. The dentist I fired two years ago took 25 minutes to drive to. That incompetent dentist and his just as bad receptionist replaced the best dentist I ever had but he retired.
                    As for the 5 minute drive, that dentist has a competitor across the street.
                    So I better like what I hear when I call that office Monday.
                    Come to think of it, I know where there is another one five minutes off in another direction.

                      Went skimming on in my email. My medical doctor's office reminded me of an appointment Dec 28 and even had a confirmation button for me to click on.
                      I see him every four months due to me type 2 diabetes. Bet my sugar level will be up that close to Christmas. Would you believe my Type 1 diabetes brother and his wife sent me candy?
                      That's how old dino will check out--killed with kindness!.

                        I hope not buddy...taking care of one's self is a prime directive...even in a collective, sacrificial, "for the greater good", anti-civilized anti-society.

                        PS. caught the dig..."misspelled emails". Santa just took away 1 lump of coal for that one...

                          I have a Swedish surname that is never spelled right by Vonage. Even when my last name is not used, there is always some word that's messed up.
                          Vonage has another disadvantage. There is no blinking light to alert you to a missed call.
                          You just find it in your email.
                          I was offline for a month after a F5 tornado missed me by a quarter of a mile. All I had was my cell and that took 3 days to work. Fortunately I used a neighbor's landline to advise a brother to tell all my kin I was okay.
                          That landline was really a landline for being knocked down on the ground.

                            I was just busting...I'm sure you realized.

                            curious...what is your surname.

                              David the Dino is a Hedstrom
                              What I hear Vonage record: Mister Hedstrom, my name is Seymour Frankenstein and I am asking for your vote as dog catcher.
                              What I read: Mister Headstrong,
                              (or Head dumm)
                              (or Hestum)
                              (anything else in the ball park)
                              (maybe redrum {red-rum} someday like in The Shining)
                              my name is Simon Frank N. Fine and I am asking for your vote as dog fetcher.

                              It's Carl's turn now. Ah, just the surname if you wish, please.

                                Johansson but spelled the American way: Johnson.

                                Wish is was spelled the Swedish way...would get a lot less bill collector calls inwhich I am not whom they are looking for.

                                  No wonder you were curious!
                                  Your Swedish version would be as rare down south as mine.
                                  Wait! I clicked on a "Actually it is Theodore . . . after Teddy . ."
                                  but all I see above is what I see above. That's weird.

    Why not as Snopes if the above story is true? (snicker) Now its like finding out there is no Santa Clause. Are there really any truly un-biased fact-checkers left in the world? Does politics prevail over all--even science? Even the Guch?

    Hello Olduglycarl,
    I just did a Google search of my own using the keywords "factual errors on snopes" it produced 63,000 results. There is definitely reason to be skeptical. I posted a number of links and more of my thoughts about what I found on AJAshinoff's similar thread. https://www.galtsgulchonline.com/post...
    Respectfully,
    O.A.

      Thanks OA, now that's interesting seeing that google is not always the best source either...especially when they allow unedited edits from non professionals.
      But I wouldn't doubt your findings in the least and at best it's probably underestimated.

    Perhaps this really is a fake news story created to punish the snopes owner for thinking that in the future his job was to be unbiased. The rumors of imposed drugged perversion being filmed and used to control people via blackmail could be truthful.
    Replacing an recalcitrant owner with a looter wouldn't be that difficult.
