Snopes Just Too Damn Complacent

In response to my complaint regarding their false Titanic story, Snopes makes clear that they have the story there to keep people on their toes and to keep people in a state of skeptical tension.

All very and fine, except that Snopes didn't merely repeat a story, but actually created a false D.W. Griffith Web Page to lend added authority to the story. That is no longer a case of False Authority Syndrome, but rather a case of Malicious False Authority. Snopes can't escape culpability!!!!
