Snopes is busted

Looks like I wasn't being paranoid in my observations from time to time about Snopes.com having a liberal bias.

Turns out that the site's chief fact checker is a former liberal blogger with somewhat dubious qualifications for the job.

I'm a bit of a cynic, frankly, about Snopes, PolitiFact, and others of that ilk. The reliability of a site whose purpose is to pass on the reliability of claims others make depends on  it having an unimpeachable objectivity itself which few such sites can claim.
