I'm confused because Snopes is saying they're now saying staffing was in control? Wondering who got pressured to change their report.
Dude, quit reading Snopes for fact-based information, it was recently sold and the people who originally owned it are gone. Iirc it was bought by a media corporation that has bias.
goes to snopes to check the validity of this claim..... Wait...
Is that the case? I remember in the mid 90's scrolling through each entry, usually the urban legends and spooky sections, reading late into the night, occasionally shitting myself because every 15th page had sound effects or midi music.
Over the last 5 or so years I've watched people claim it isn't accurate and can't be trusted anymore, but the people claiming that were always... Well...idiots. Clearly just wanted to chose their own facts.
Do you have a link or something about this more recent development?
Edit: read the wiki page, but yeah, not much about who the new owners are. Just that the original owners are gone. So anyone with an article or other link/source so I can read up.
