Re: Fact checking snoppes for JD.
I do like snopes for checking out the validity of viral emails, but their statements have to be taken with a grain of salt for the reasons stated above. (Which is common knowledge.) The couple that runs snopes does research, and if they can't find evidence for something [usually limited to online sources], they stamp it with a "false." Snopes is a good *guidepost* for casual news, but it can't be depended on for resolving important issues and questions.
