The fact-checking site was originally founded in 1995 by David and Barbara Mikkelson, who divorced in 2015. In December 2017, Forbes ran a piece that concluded Snopes has major credibility problems such as: David Mikkelsonโ€™s โ€œresponses regarding the hiring of strongly partisan fact checkers and his lack of response on screening and assessment protocols present a deeply troubling picture of a secretive black box that acts as ultimate arbitrator of truth, yet reveals little of its inner workings.โ€

 

By the way, did you know that in December 2016, Facebook began relying on Snopes to weed out โ€œfake news?โ€

 

On the Snopes website, the โ€œAbout Usโ€ section lists David Mikkelson solely as founder, with no mention whatever of co-founder Barbara Mikkelson, who has been tossed down the memory hole. One of many inconvenient facts omitted by the โ€œfact checker.โ€
