BREAKING: Snopes CEO Suspended for Stealing Content & Using Fake Identities, Articles to be Retracted
The CEO and President of Snopes, the website that advertises itself as “the internet’s definitive fact-checking resource” is facing major heat after admitting to plagiarizing dozens of articles.
A BuzzFeed News investigation found that David Mikkelson was involved in a major plagiarizing scandal that encompassed a whopping 54 pieces, Business Insider reports.
Mikkelson’s publishing rights have been revoked, though he remains a 50 percent shareholder and the company’s CEO.
“I engaged in multiple serious copyright violations of content that Snopes didn’t have rights to use,” Mikkelson said in a statement. “There is no excuse for my serious lapses in judgement. I am sorry.”
The stolen pieces were taken from outlets like The Guardian, and published under at least three separate bylines.
Mikkelson even set up a pseudonym: Jeff Zarronandia.
Mikkelson used the pseudonym to “write about topics he knew would get him hate mail under that assumed name,” Brooke Binkowski, former managing editor of Snopes, said. “Plus it made it appear he had more staff than he had.”

So, the fact-checkers REALLY ARE FAKE.
Sounds consistent to the claims made in this thread since the onset.
This is horrible news for savage1 and his libtard friends who LOVE fake fact-checkers as much as they love fake news networks.
WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO NOW?

Just to remind fpp/sbd of what he said on Wednesday as to what was going to happen on Thursday.
The only which came true with Smelly Lindelli is that made a fool of himself and was laughed off the stage.
The rest of it turned out to be as usual delusions, lies and projections.
Here you go"
"IF SAVAGE1 AND HIS LIBTARD friends HAD THE INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY TO WATCH AND UNDERSTAND LINDELL'S SYMPOSIUM...
They would be waiving the white flag already, begging for it to stop!
Just wait until you see the bomb Lindell's team drops tomorrow!
"WE HAVE IT ALL"
AND YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE IS HAPPENING!"
Pehaps fpp/sbd would care to comment on what he said/predicted!!! lol

EVERYTHING you have posted is verifiably wrong.
You don't have a job, so much is clear from you hanging out here all hours of the day for over a year and a half. Whenever I pop in you have just posted something stupid, 24/7.
Everything you say about Savage applies to yourself, the proof is in the last 600 pages.
There's no way you are wealthy.
Lindell is a delusional psych patient who possibly has permanent brain damage from his heavy crack addiction, at least he has that going for him, unlike you.
He has never, and will never prove anything related to voter fraud.
Only sad morons like RED think you delivered a beatdown here.
^^^^^^THIS. REMINDER.
Another Failed-Prophesy-Friday is upon us.
Expect: posting frenzy from the guy who "only pops in and out" + moving of the goal posts for the millionth time.
Also: hard sceptical questions from "I do my own research" RED.

Trump Allies Reject Theory Trump Can Be Reinstated as President (msn.com)
This is one which fpp/sbd doesn't want you to see because it is REALITY.
The allies cited in this article ought to be tried for treason, but at least they don't live in a fantasy world as does fpp/sbd.

Anyone who watched the symposium and still thinks election fraud isn't real or is just "conspiracy" is an idiot.
It's that simple!
Perhaps, I've said this before.
And I'm sure it won't be the last time.

Bikers At Sturgis Rally Put Up 'Happy Birthday Obama' Sign So COVID Can't Spread
STURGIS, SD—Bikers are tough and cool, but you can't say they aren't also purdy dang smart: motorcyclists at the annual rally in Sturgis, South Dakota put up a "Happy
Birthday Obama" sign this week to make sure COVID can't spread.
It may seem odd, but scientists say putting up an Obama sign, say above your doorpost or in your living room, is a great way to fight COVID.
"It's really fascinating," said Dr. Abram Willy. "It seems as soon as COVID particles see that you're at an elite liberal event, they just stop spreading. We also recommend 'Black Lives Matter' banners or dressing your whole family up as Antifa members."

"Biden Administration"? Doesn't exist because we know who the president is.
