Does george soros suport snopes

Answer 1

Snopes derives its revenue through advertising on its site. But, its a privately held company, and as such they do not have to say who has given them money. However, giving a non-public .com company, who claims to have a neutral agenda, puts the owners of that company and they objectivity into question. Since Snopes is private, the only way we could know for sure if George Soros gave them money is to look at their accounting books, which of course we cannot do, so there is no way to learn if Barbara and David Mikkelson who own Snopes are being corrupted with private funding that has ties to the Mikkelson's owing the person giving the funds a return favor on Snopes. Barbara and David Mikkelson were financially well off before they started Snopes and as they say on their web site (this is a quote) "Neither the site nor its operators has ever received monies from (or been engaged in any business or editorial relationship with), any sponsor, investor, partner, political party, religious group, business organization, government agency, or any other outside group or organization." The Mikkelson's may vote and favor one party over another, but I don't see anyway other than accusing the Mikkelson's of "selling out" their values of determining if Soros gave them money for a return favor.
