One thing I might add is that recently, more and more satire sites have popped up with reasonable-sounding names and it's not always easy to tell if they are satire. If I can't find any Internet verification on a particular site, I'll go to the site's homepage and look around and see if the other stories it's posted seem reasonable."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Ben Witherington wrote on his blog a few years ago that he did not trust Snopes, but I don't remember his reasoning."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.
