Scams "Fascinating" Says Bear

Klempner fave Snopes exposed as a scam run by whoremonger. Is that a surprise? Strange how consistently anything Klempner endorses or finds "fascinating" begins to rot like dead fish.

Quote:Snopes Co-Founder Accused Of Embezzling Company Money, Spending It On Prostitutes

The founder of mythbusting website Snopes, which was recently tapped by Facebook as one of four "fact-check" organizations patrolling the site for "fake news," embezzled $98,000 in company funds before spending it on "himself and the prostitutes he hired," according to legal documents filed by his ex-wife reviewed by the Daily Mail.

After divorcing from his first wife, Barbara Mikkelson, David Mikkelson married Elyssa Young, a former porn star and current escort who now works for Snopes as an administrator, according to the Daily Mail.

The Daily Mail also revealed that top Snopes "fact-checker"? Kim LaCapria claimed on her personal blog that she has "posted to Snopes"? after smoking marijuana. As TheDC previously revealed, LaCapria describes herself as "openly left-leaning"? and once claimed that Republicans fear "female agency."?

As originally reported by TheDC, Snopes almost exclusively employs leftists as fact-checkers, many of whom have exhibited a clear distaste for Republican voters. TheDC could not identify a single Snopes fact-checker who comes from a conservative background. (RELATED: Snopes, Which Will Be Fact-Checking For Facebook, Employs Leftists Almost Exclusively)

The mythbusting site has butchered the truth on more than one occasion.

In July, TheDC exposed a Snopes lie about the lack of American flags at the Democratic convention, trying to pass off a picture from day two of the convention as though it were from day one in a flailing attempt to debunk a factual Daily Caller story.

Similarly, a Snopes attempt at discrediting a news story from The Daily Caller News Foundation earlier this month was riddled with factual errors and omissions. (RELATED: Snopes Deliberately Omits Key Details To Protect Kerry's State Department)

Neither Snopes nor Facebook returned TheDC's request for comment regarding the accusations that David Mikkelson embezzled company money and spent some of it on prostitutes.
