Oh no! Who will ever save us from the plague of Fake News?
How about these intrepid fact checkers whom Facebook has decided will be allowed to determine whether your link is "truthful" or not.
Now a DailyMail.com investigation reveals that Snopes.com's founders, former husband and wife David and Barbara Mikkelson, are embroiled in a lengthy and bitter legal dispute in the wake of their divorce.
He has since remarried, to a former escort and porn actress who is one of the site's staff members.
They are accusing each other of financial impropriety, with Barbara claiming her ex-husband is guilty of 'embezzlement' and suggesting he is attempting a 'boondoggle' to change tax arrangements, while David claims she took millions from their joint accounts and bought property in Las Vegas.
In the filings, Barbara, 57, has accused her former husband, 56, of 'raiding the corporate business Bardav bank account for his personal use and attorney fees' without consulting her.
She also claimed he embezzled $98,000 from the company over the course of four years 'which he expended upon himself and the prostitutes he hired'.
In the time since the couple split, David has run the company's day-to-day operations, and authored a number of 'fact checks'.
He has also made hires – including Elyssa Young, 47, an administrative assistant at Snopes.
She is also a long-time escort and porn star who has worked for decades under the name 'Erin O'Bryn' - and now his wife.
I can't wait until Snopes fact checks this Daily Mail story. There's more and it's increasingly insane stuff. And a reminder that anyone who relies on Snopes for anything, ought to think twice.
Although Young lists her job as 'administrative assistant at Snopes' on LinkedIn, her escort websites and Twitter accounts still appear to be active. it is unclear if she is still working as one.
She describes herself on her Twitter page as 'a mature and experienced courtesan, idealist, activist & dreamer.'
Your Truthiness will be brought to you by these folks.
If the Poynter Institute has any integrity, it will pull Snopes from its fact checking network. But I'm betting that it won't. The only real standard for fact checkers is being able to launch a left-wing attack.
