They've raised $515,000 so far. Follow the $

You say that like it's a bad thing.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!


I don't know how many years ago it was that I stated this was a bought and paid for website that only backs their own.

Total "fake news" example except this is worse. They purportedly act as a bastion of Truth for the internet and tell you who was lying or telling the truth by spreading their opinions on any particular matter.

I bet TW's head is exploding because that little website he loves to hate...yet doles out some great information you won't read or see on TV broke it out for more to see.

ZERO HEDGE!!!!

Snopes.com is a liberal blog from 1994. The website claims to be the internet’s oldest and most popular fact-checking site. Last year, Snopes Co-Founder was accused of embezzling company money, and spending it on prostitutes.

Now you can find the blog begging for $500k in funding via GoFundMe. So, far the campaign has raised $18,000 in 3 hours via 710 people...

Yes my head is exploding *rolling eyes*

Zero hedge is not a reputable source but that does not make EVERTHING it reports false. It's a simple concept. You outta try it.

The best way to spread disinformation is to sprinkle in fact to give the appearance of legitimacy.

Snopes isn't always right nor is it always wrong. It's worthwhile to question its credibility and weigh its information yourself. It's much more credible then zero hedge however, but the same principle applies.

My head. My poor aching head.

I feel like Ray Liotta in Hannibal

You mean that guy?

Hmm oh yea that dude the dude with the thing

Dammit if they (snopes) say it it must be true. It also means zero hedge is now reputable.

The little head just blew too....

This pretty much substantiates my take on snopes ... I don't recall the specifics, but at least 10 or 12 years ago Rickamaven cited snopes to refute something I knew to be absolutely factual ... that same scenario has played out more than once since then, including once earlier this year by one of our resident uber-libs again to refute something I knew was factual ...

As you might imagine, the revelation that snopes has the credibility of a pile of steaming horse chit brings a smile of overdue satisfaction ...

No, a lot of people don't know the truth Victor.

... well... kinda ironic you would use the "the sky is blue" argument, seeing as the blue color of the sky would depend on cloud cover, time of day (the sky is not blue at night) weather...

Perhaps if you simply told us what you believe to be a fact which is disagreed with by snopes so we can judge if you're full of methane yourself?

No they are discrediting themselves. FWIW, I never thought taking facts from a cite that dedicated time to a story about maggots in a vijayjay isn't one I'd hang my hat on. Using zerohedge was more for teedubya and his selective fauxtrage.

better than your Perot?

I'm cold, clammy and nauseated thinking about your boobage.

nope. didn't help.

now that's hawt!

Did you pinch it

You can milk that, Greg.
