I looked it up. I found about 3 references - that all go to Infowars. No details, nothing. The fact that it also alludes to FB's recent assertion that it was going to use Snopes to factcheck stories (and Infowars stories would certainly fail quite often) makes me think this is just a made up story.

It sounds like a spino off of this hoax: Hoax Alert: Snopes.com CEO NOT Arrested On Charges Of Fraud And Corruption | Lead Stories

Oh, a spin off? Is that it?
The story you linked is 9 months old and has nothing to do with these latest charges and facts now being reported. Does that matter to you?

And the story I got from the London DailyMail is quite detailed, nor does it reference "infowars" at all. You need a better search engine. In bullet points the article states the following >>

• Facebook has announced plans to check for 'fake news' using a series of organizations to assess whether stories are true

• One of them is a website called Snopes.com which claims to be one of the web's 'essential resources' and 'painstaking, scholarly and reliable'

• It was founded by husband-and-wife Barbara and David Mikkelson, who used a letterhead claiming they were a non-existent society to start their research

• Now they are divorced - with Barbara claiming in legal documents he embezzled $98,000 of company money and spent it on 'himself and prostitutes'

• In a lengthy and bitter legal dispute he is claiming to be underpaid and demanding 'industry standard' or at least $360,000 a year

• The two also dispute what are basic facts of their case - despite Snopes.com saying its 'ownership' is committed to 'accuracy and impartiality'

• Snopes.com founder David Mikkelson's new wife Elyssa Young is employed by the website as an administrator

• She has worked as an escort and porn actress and despite claims website is non-political ran as a Libertarian for Congress on a 'Dump Bush' platform

• Its main 'fact checker' is Kimberly LaCapria, whose blog 'ViceVixen' says she is in touch with her 'domme side' and has posted on Snopes.com while smoking pot

So are you saying it's all B.S. because you know something none of us do?
Or are you saying none of that makes a difference, if Snopes says it's true it's true, and if Snopes says it's false it's false?
Is that how you choose to order your life and you want us to be impressed?

Vice Vixen Domme....lol

I'm saying that the above news story has no bearing on the work Snopes does - whether Snopes is right or wrong is something else.

They do their research, the provide original sources and they are well respected as factcheckers...other than the loony conspiracy theorists.

If you read it, you'll find it's accusations in the middle of a divorce. Remember Bannon and his exwife?

None of it has any bearing on the company's fact checking.

Pick a topic that they claim is false and I can bet any money it can find where the incident did happen. And not it won't nec. be from infowars. I know how many infowarsphobes there are on here.

Politifact was busted lying for Hillary.
Snopes is next to fall...

This is too funny...

Wait, so someone that does adult videos and pictures can't be truthful? Does it need to be pointed out about the Melania pictures? Does it need to be pointed out that Trump used to go to Epstein parties? Come on... this is a weak attack.

Melania was a super model. In Europe nudity is accepted as the norm in modelling. We've been thru this before.

Oh and apart from being working escorts and porn stars, one ran as a libertarian. And the Snopes founder embezzelled from the company for hookers.

He did? So far, accusations are all we have.

Snopes.com - Wikipedia

David Mikkelson, the creator of the site, has said that the site receives more complaints of liberal bias than conservative bias,[23] but insists that the same debunking standards are applied to all political urban legends. In 2012, FactCheck.org reviewed a sample of Snopes' responses to political rumors regarding George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, and Barack Obama, and found them to be free from bias in all cases. FactCheck noted that Barbara Mikkelson was a Canadian citizen (and thus unable to vote in US elections) and David Mikkelson was an independent who was once registered as a Republican. "You'd be hard-pressed to find two more apolitical people," David Mikkelson told them.[23][24] In 2012, The Florida Times-Union reported that About.com's urban legends researcher found a "consistent effort to provide even-handed analyses" and that Snopes' cited sources and numerous reputable analyses of its content confirm its accuracy.[25]​

Oh well sooner or later SNOPES will be shut down bank on it.

And I am saying you are out of your mind.

Snopes has been exposed several times --- but most especially how they endlessly cover for Obama, the Clintons and any scandal on the left. They ignore many critical facts and discredit peripheral claims of the same charge only. I have no use for them. You can believe what you want.

They "reviewed a sample." LOL I bet those samples were carefully selected.

Given that they have an extremely high reliability from a number of different sources - I doubt it.

Why is it you guys HATE truth so much?
