Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Snopes Exposed
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 (www.snopescom/ 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 snopes.com. 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.
The reason for the questions - or skepticisms - is a result of 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
Mikkelson's claim to have researched this issue before posting their findings on
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 ever contacted anyone with State Farm.
Yet, 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 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 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 trust 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. 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 anymore for fact
checking and make your friends aware of their political leanings as well. Many people
still 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.
