Snopes cannot be trusted

  • We all have been reading emails regarding the validity of Snopes, but this new information is pretty conclusive.


    More info on "SNOPES and URBAN LEGENDS EXPOSED"...

    Finally, "someone else" has learned what I've read in several emails
    from other sources...that SNOPES is NOT all that
    "reliable" and especially on political issues that 'trod' on the
    current administration.
     The old saying, "Who can you trust?" seems even more relevant based
    on the information posted here.

    "I knew that Snopes was run by a couple in the San Francisco area,
    I did know George Soros was the money behind it!!!

       "Most of us have gone to Snopes for verify information that we
    were not sure about.

       "Personally I have always wondered who they are, where do they
    get their funding from, who are the staff, where are they located and
    perhaps most importantly what database are they linked into to get all
    of this information that everyone else on the Internet would have a
    very difficult time finding or verifying.

     "Now, come to find out, Snopes is not the paragon of truth we
    thought it was and it is funded by the biggest power-monger and
    control freak in the world today.

     "They may have accurate info on issues like computer viruses,
    etc but when it comes to anything political they are decidedly left
    and liberal and not to be trusted with any opinions about anything
    political.

    However, I have recommended Urban legends I did not know this."that applies to Urban Legends searches as well sincethey are the same entity".

    "Snopes is heavily financed by George Soros, a huge financial
    supporter of Obama!
    "In our Search for the truth department, we find what I have
    suspected on many occasions. I went to Snopes to check this out and
    they said it was false and there were no such dockets so I Googledthe
    Supreme Court, typed in Obama-Kagan, and guess what? Yep you got
    it. Snopes lied.
    "Everyone of those dockets are there. So Here is what I wrote Snopes:"

             'Referencing the article about Elena Kagan and Barak
    Obama dockets:
         The information you have posted stating that there were no such cases
         as claimed and the examples you gave are blatantly false. I went
         directly to the Supreme Court website, typed in Obama Kagan and
         immediately came up with all of the dockets that the article made
         reference to.. I have long suspected that you really slant things but
         this revelation is really shocking.
            'You exist behind a veil of half truths and distorted facts.
         Hoping you will be honest and forthcoming in the future is probably
         expecting too much.
             'That being said, if you really didn't know THIS
    then your investigative
         reporting is a sham; Kagan was representing Obama in all
    the petitions to prove his
         citizenship. Now she may help rule on them.'

     "Folks, this is really ugly. Chicago Politics; and the beat goes on
    and on and on...
    "Once again the US Senate sold us out!

      "Well, someone figured out why Obama nominated Elana Kagan for
    the Supreme Court.... Pull up the Supreme Courts website, go to the
    docket and search for Obama. Kagan was the Solicitor General for all
    the suits against him filed with the Supreme Court to show proof of
    natural born citizenship.
     "He owed her big time. All of the requests were denied of course. They
    were never heard! It just keeps getting deeper and deeper, doesn't it?
    'The American people mean nothing any longer. It all comes down to
    payback time for those who compromised themselves to elect someone
    that really has no true right to even be there.
       Here are some websites of the Supreme Court Docket: When you
    look up some of these hearings and guess what Elana Kagan is the
    attorney representing Obama !!!

       Check out these examples:

  • I doubt they will.

    What I have learned about SNOPES is that they can be pretty accurate about issues that have no political or religious significance.  

    Even in political issues, they often do provide accurate information though their conclusions are wrong.  I've looked up issues on SNOPES finding websites and other docuмentation that show the issue is clearly true while they have determined that the issue is false.  You have read through the explanation and never stop at the beginning where they simply tell you what you're supposed to think.

    The only issues I've seen, as you show here, outright dis-information is on issues that directly apply to Mr. Obama.  On these questions, SNOPES doesn't even attempt to hide their political ideas.
