A good

alternative to snopes is www.truthorfiction.com.

Again,

don’t just believe ANYTHING you read. Who knows what

their slant might be! Snopes isn’t to be trusted to provide

ACCURATE info, especially on alternative medicine questions, political

info, because

they are biased, not truthful!, and religious questions. I have found

them wrong or even lying on each of these three issues, and who knows

how many

others.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

About SNOPES.COM'

 

Who watches the

watchers?

For the past few

years http://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 http://www.snopes.com/.

 

Only recently did

Wikipedia get to the bottom of it - kinda made you wonder what they

were hiding. Well, finally we know. 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.

 

After a few years

it gained popularity believing it to be unbiased and neutral, but over

the past couple of years people started asking questions who was behind

it and did they have a selfish motivation?

 

The reason for the

questions - or skepticisms - is a result of http://www.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 Mikkelsons claim to have researched this

issue before posting their findings onhttp://www.snopes.com/.'>http://www.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

Greggno one from http://www.snopes.com/ ever contacted anyone

with State Farm. Yet,http://www.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 Mikkelsons are

Democrats 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 Mikkelsons

liberalism revealing itself in their website findings. Gee, what a

shock?

 

So, I say this now

to everyone who goes to http://www.snopes.com/ to get what they think to be the bottom

line facts ... 'precede 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 Google a subject and do the research

yourself. It now seems apparent that's all the Mikkelsons do. After

all, I can> personally vouch from my own experience for their 'not'

fully looking into things.

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. Truth or Fiction's web-site http://www.truthorfiction.com/ is a better source for verification, in

my opinion.

 

I have recently

discovered that is http://www.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 YouTube yourself and find

the video of Obama actually saying these things. So you see, you cannot

and should not trust http://www.snopes.com/ for anything that remotely resembles truth

(SIC ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO LIBERAL vs CONSERVATIVE CONCERNS)! I

don't even trust them to tell me if email chains are hoaxes anymore.

 

A few conservative

speakers on MySpace told me about http://www..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 usehttp://www.snopes.com/ anymore for fact checking and make your

friends aware of their political leanings as well. Many people still

think http://www.snopes.com/ is neutral and they can be trusted as

factual. They AREN”T! We need to

make sure everyone is aware that that is a hoax in itself.
