The story is somewhat out of date.

But the answer is still “NO”.

Their interest also lies in getting rich and enjoying a celebrity lifestyle. It was recently reported that the husband (David Mikkelson) went on an extended honeymoon in Asia with his new, ex-porn-star wife, blowing cash by the boatload. Meanwhile, his estranged wife revealed the couple has $1.5 million in their joint checking account:

Who knew fact checking could be so profitable? Mikkelson has been accused of embezzlement, but at last report, he was still one of the principals at Snopes. And of course, the tech firms haven’t severed their ties with Snopes, which remains a primary fact-checking service.

Barbara and David are now divorced and fighting over the "business." David has moved on and married his second wife, who worked as a hooker till she met up with him. Barbara has been busy embezzling from the "business" and sold her share of the "business" to someone else

Just a few stories from July 2017 - Google "snipes divorce" for more.

Geez, when I first heard of cement being poured into a convertible by a jealous husband, the car would have been a 1956 T-Bird.

If you hear that Trump did something good and see facts to back it up, you can trust snopes to tell you why you should ignore the facts.

They could charge people for relieving symptoms of TDS. TDS even has a medical name “Trump Anxiety Disorder” so psycho-therapists may be prescribing daily reading of snopes to calm patient when they are exposed to news that is good for the country.

I laugh my ass off when someone sends me an email with comment at the end that states whatever the email was about has been fact-checked and found true by Snopes.com.

That to me is a sure sign that it is NOT true.

Owned and run by Leftists and it's "fair and balanced"?

Just another liberal-backed group attempting to control the narrative in the country.

"Hey, if we say it's true, well, then it is!" /s/

No. They are liberals that leave out facts to support their liberal propaganda.

I’ll tell you what, if snopes.com is such a valid reference then just try using them in a college paper sometime.

Has any of this slander been verified by snopes?

Sadly it cannot be.

It was founded by Bay Area Lefties. Initially they seemed to try and do a decent job, but at the end of the day their Liberal biases started getting the best of them.

Then they felt pressure from folks like The Clinton Foundation to slant the truth even further. Now they have gotten divorced, and the entire enterprise is engulfed in a gigantic legal mess.

Rule of Three:

I gave Politically Incorrect three chances to be politically incorrect.

I gave Snopes three chances to be impartially and completely factual.

I never went back to either one.
