Was recently pointed to the "Huffington Riposte", where an article dated May 6, 2010 claims to have unmasked David and Barbara Mikkelson as a dangerously liberal, biased, "mom-and-pop" operation with no experience in investigative reporting.

I've looked at Snopes extensively - I use it to check just about anything that comes through my mailbox, and - sadly - about 95% of forwards that are not ostensibly humorous are debunked as hoaxes. I've followed notes and research, and the Mikkelsons seem very thorough. While they don't have articles about everything, I've never seen an article with an egregious error yet.

Is it possible that in thousands of articles, they may miss something on occasion, or come to an incorrect conclusion? For that matter, is it possible that every article on Wikipedia is not to be considered gospel truth? Duh... but that doesn't give Alan Strong, CEO/Chairman of Commercial Programming Systems, Inc., the right to brand them as left-wing nutjobs with a hidden agenda. Get real, Alan, and stop looking for Bolsheviks under your bed.

The shameless partisanship of our nation dismays me. Really, it does.
