Ouch.

Ugh. I worked with DM back in the early days before snopes exploded with 9/11 traffic. I was aware he divorced, and they were not getting along, business partnership problems, &c. I don't think any of this is false BUT also don't think it impacts the credibility of the site. But obviously I expect this daily fail hit piece to be the start of an onslaught which will have massive impact on the willingness for news organizations to use them as 3rd party fact checking and validation.
Bad day for skepticism.
