And yet another falsehood relayed by you. All of Snopes.com's revenue comes from the advertising on the site. Not Annenberg, not Soros, not any of the usual suspects raised by the sites you depend on because they meet you preconceptions. See their statement on ownership and revenue -
http://www.snopes.com/ownership-and-revenue/. This has been independently confirmed by a number of other organizations.
Oh, and by the way one of the founders was originally registered as a Republican. David Mikkelson changed that to independent a few years ago. His ex-wife is no longer involved in the site, in any case she was a Canadian citizen.

Swampy references funding not revenue. Attempting to substitute one for the other only magnifies the attempt to deflect from snope's far too obvious agendae.

Your attempt to deflect is noted. In this case funding and revenue are one and the same. Or do you have any actual facts to show they are not. As for agenda, snopes has been rated as the most unbiased site by organizations to left and right of center. It is just those extremes that consistently complain of bias when their favorite memes and misinformation are disproven.

I think swampy might be conflating Snopes with factcheck.org which is affiliated with the Annenberg Public Policy Center.

More likely following some website or other source or rumors that has conflated the two.

Can someone please explain why Factcheck.org and the Annenberg Public Policy Center are considered Leftists? As far as I know, the Annenberg Public Policy Center is a part of the University of Pennsylvania - The Annenberg School of Communications.
