Snopes is run by a man and a woman with no background in investigation using Google.
Snopes.com has been considered the ‘tell-all final word’ on any comment, claim and email. Once negative article by them and people point and say, “See, I told you it wasn’t true!” But what is Snopes? What are their methods and training that gives them the authority to decide what is true and what is not? For several years people have tried to find out who exactly was behind the website Snopes.com. Only recently did they get to the bottom of it. Are you ready for this? It is run by a husband and wife team – that’s right, no big office of investigators scouring public records in Washington, no researchers studying historical stacks in libraries, no team of lawyers reaching a consensus on current caselaw. No, Snopes.com is just a mom-and-pop operation that was started by two people who have absolutely no formal background or experience in investigative research.
David and Barbara Mikkelson pictured above; are from San Fernando Valley of California. They started their website ‘Snopes’ about 13 years ago. After a few years it began gaining popularity as people believed it to be unbiased and neutral.

There were also criticisms the Mikkelsons were not really investigating and getting to the ‘true’ bottom of various issues, but rather asserting their beliefs in controversial issues.

hendrickski, you are an idiot. Are you related to Jane?
Who cares? Are they incorrect? That’s all that matters.
yes, they are frequently incorrect.
Idiotic comment.
Um… duh? That’s because all it takes to do the kind of fact-checking that Snopes.com does is a half-wit using Google. The thing is Snopes has to Google for people because they are too lazy, and/or have less than half a wit.
