But reading the above account, it sounds like Snopes has devolved into something of an outsourced content farm, and various parties are now squabbling over control of the cash cow.
Anything Snopes like (aka used as an authority for truth) has a large chance of someday descending into a various parties squabbling for control situation. Not surprised if that is more or less the case.
Any citations for Snopes running "leftist propo"? I've seen that accusation leveled a few times in this thread and I'm yet to see anyone provide a concrete example.
There's a really big difference between leftists and liberals, actually. A larger difference than between mainstream Republicans and the tea party, I'd say.
Most leftists camouflage as liberals in everyday conversation because their views are very extreme compared to what most have encountered.
I'm not sure why that follows- if anything, in my experience pandering propaganda tends to increase profits - just look at Breitbart on the right and Huffington post on the left. It drives clicks just as well and seems to be cheaper to produce than real investigative journalism.
As TFA mentions, the authors have been cut off from the ad revenue. So it may be producing a lot, but only the hosting company is getting it, if the article is to be believed.
