lots to read on this search:
snopes.com divorce

seems mr. snopes was putting his snoper in the wrong place and mrs. snope didn't like where it was going.... there was some reference to younger female associate being the home wrecker.

It's a business dispute, most likely with assholes on both sides. One or the other may get an ass-reaming out of it, but somebody will pick up the pieces and Snopes will carry on.

I just noticed when I googled “snopes being sued”

Google auto filled words after “snopes”, and “being”....”sued” was never one of the choices. Once I typed “sued”, there’s were no choices in auto fill. Just blank.

I wonder if this is a fluke on my end, or is google suppressing it?

Dunno, but ddg auto-fills "being sued" just fine.

And that's another example of why you don't use Google.

You get a better picture of things using DuckDuckGo.

Google "Fact Checking the Fact Checkers." There are lots of links to articles that document mistakes by Snopes and other "fact checkers." Is most of their content accurate? Yes. Have they ever fact checked lefties and called their statements false? Yes. But they do suffer from an ideological left wing bias that affects their content. They are much more likely to call out conservatives than liberals. They fact check conservatives much more frequently.
