SNOPES.COM COMMUNITY: WE NEED YOUR HELP
Snopes.com in Danger of Shuttering

Dear Readers,

Snopes.com, which began as a small one-person effort in 1994 and has since become one of the Internet’s oldest and most popular fact-checking sites, is in danger of closing its doors.  So, for the first time in our history, we are turning to you, our readership, for help.

Since our inception, we have always been a self-sustaining site that provides a free service to the online world: we’ve had no sponsors, no outside investors or funding, and no source of revenue other than that provided by online advertising. Unfortunately, we have been cut off from our historic source of advertising income.

We had previously contracted with an outside vendor to provide certain services for Snopes.com. That contractual relationship ended earlier this year, but the vendor will not acknowledge the change in contractual status and continues to essentially hold the Snopes.com web site hostage. Although we maintain editorial control (for now), the vendor will not relinquish the site’s hosting to our control, so we cannot modify the site, develop it, or — most crucially — place advertising on it. The vendor continues to insert their own ads and has been withholding the advertising revenue from us. 

Our legal team is fighting hard for us, but, having been cut off from all revenue, we are facing the prospect of having no financial means to continue operating the site and paying our staff (not to mention covering our legal fees) in the meanwhile.

As misinformation has increasingly threatened democracies around the world (including our own), Snopes.com has stood in the forefront of fighting for truth and dispelling misinformation online. It is vital that these efforts continue, so we are asking the Snopes.com community to donate what they can. (Our suggested donation is $10, but if you can give more please consider doing so — every little bit helps.)

We need our community now more than ever, as it is only through your support that Snopes.com can remain the community and resource we all know and love.

Sincerely yours,

Team Snopes.

      “We need you…it is only through your support that Snopes.com can remain the community and resource we all know and love.”

      Errrmmmmm…

      Bullshit.

      Snopes is a well-known tool of those who would (at a truly gross profit, no less) keep the wool tied tightly down over our eyes as to how the world actually works. Infamously paired-up in bed with Mark Zuckerberg’s horrendously invasive FaceBook operation, Snopes has become the go-to place for the weak-minded, media-driven, common-core-trained crowd of young under-intelligenced millenials who really prefer to dance and party the night away with not one thought for the workings – let alone the future – of their nation, their homes, or themselves.

      Snopes, like the infamous FaceBook and the ever-so-popular “Don’t be Evil (because we HATE competition) Google with its popularity-based (no longer page-content-based) algorithm now stealth-programming the wide-open minds of the weak and impressionable to their distinct detriment every day, is a BIG Part of a PLANET-SIZED INFOTAINMENT PROBLEM.

      Nothing more – or less – than that!

      So move along people, just keep moving now it’s all good it’s all normal just be sure to keep Googliing, keep FaceBooking and keep right on Snoping to the end. Nothing to see here. Just go right back to sleep and let the Party tell you what to buy, what to be and what+how to think, that’s a good little one now….

      Because WE TOLD YOU TO. {WHACK} And that is all. 0{:-|o[

      As soon as I saw it was Snopes I said -About time! This couple loves to say they are about truth. Like Media Matters they are closer to Communism and Marxism then they are for American’s Constitutional Rights. These neocons slime their way into prominent roles from teachers, educators in colleges, judges, prosecutors, congress. Be aware these are no longer normal days in America. The globalist communist wealthy- call us useless eaters. Why? because they are wealthy and are self elected lucerferians. Bill Gates has already made an implant to control women’s hormones -it will go much, much further with GPS bio metrics. They will own the world N.W.O.=OWN you and everything precious you own.
