Many of us had suspicioned this, especially during the 2008 election when
Barbara Mikkelson, and her husband, "Milquetoast" covered up numerous
issues and prevaricately reported anything, "Obama", I especially recall
Snopes mis-stating the truth regarding Frankly Raines' and Jim Johnson's
(Fannie & Freddie Heads, and big pushers of the CRA) connection to the Obama
campaign.

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

has
positioned itself, or others have labeled it, as the 'tell-all final word'
on any comment, claim and
email<mhtml:{F13FC907-ED16-4625-B99F-FC7402DA3B1C}mid://00000414/!x-usc:http://beforeitsnews.com/news/83/370/Snopes_Exposed.html>.
But for several years people tried to find out who exactly was behind
snopes.com<mhtml:{F13FC907-ED16-4625-B99F-FC7402DA3B1C}mid://00000414/!x-usc:http://snopes.com/>.
It is run by a husband and wife team - that's right, no big
office<mhtml:{F13FC907-ED16-4625-B99F-FC7402DA3B1C}mid://00000414/!x-usc:http://beforeitsnews.com/news/83/370/Snopes_Exposed.html>
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 Californiastarted 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<mhtml:{F13FC907-ED16-4625-B99F-FC7402DA3B1C}mid://00000414/!x-usc:http://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<mhtml:{F13FC907-ED16-4625-B99F-FC7402DA3B1C}mid://00000414/!x-usc:http://beforeitsnews.com/news/83/370/Snopes_Exposed.html>,
'supposedly' the Mikkelson's claim to have researched this issue before
posting their findings on
snopes.com<mhtml:{F13FC907-ED16-4625-B99F-FC7402DA3B1C}mid://00000414/!x-usc:http://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<mhtml:{F13FC907-ED16-4625-B99F-FC7402DA3B1C}mid://00000414/!x-usc:http://snopes.com/>
ever
contacted anyone with State Farm.
Yet,
snopes.com<mhtml:{F13FC907-ED16-4625-B99F-FC7402DA3B1C}mid://00000414/!x-usc:http://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<mhtml:{F13FC907-ED16-4625-B99F-FC7402DA3B1C}mid://00000414/!x-usc:http://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<mhtml:{F13FC907-ED16-4625-B99F-FC7402DA3B1C}mid://00000414/!x-usc:http://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
trustSnopes.com<mhtml:{F13FC907-ED16-4625-B99F-FC7402DA3B1C}mid://00000414/!x-usc:http://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 about
Snopes.com<mhtml:{F13FC907-ED16-4625-B99F-FC7402DA3B1C}mid://00000414/!x-usc:http://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 use
Snopes.com<mhtml:{F13FC907-ED16-4625-B99F-FC7402DA3B1C}mid://00000414/!x-usc:http://snopes.com/>
anymore
for fact checking and make your friends aware of their political leanings as
well. Many people still
thinkSnopes.com<mhtml:{F13FC907-ED16-4625-B99F-FC7402DA3B1C}mid://00000414/!x-usc:http://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.
