#12Snopes does seem to be struggling with impartiality recently, so I don't feel as bad about this as I otherwise would.
Are you sure, or are you just seeing more articles that disagree with your preconceptions? I don't see it, but it could be that I am in a bit of a bubble, so I ask in the hope of checking that.
It's a little bit of both, honestly. They have definitely taken a strong political position as of late, which has resulted in instances where they've ignored legitimate sources that agreed with the rumor they are trying to dispel, and allowed sources suffering from "citogenesis"-like qualities because it agreed with their views. I look forward to a future snopes-like site which is completely impartial, but unfortunately impartiality is very difficult to exhibit when the subject matter is frequently very subjective.

The article says there was a divorce and Wikipedia indicates that they've been divorced for nearly three years.

#15OMFG. Can a smart person please archive the site in case these dummies can't come to an agreement? This is spectacularly bad timing considering how many of our institutions that trade in truth are being attacked.
Let's get Archive Team on it. I'll suggest it on IRC now, I suggest you do the same.
