I think the quote refers to the emails that <i>say</i> "snopes says this is true", and then you check snopes and it's seven-year-old bullshit.

It's really a testimonial to the success of snopes that people lie about it like that. Nobody would bother to falsely cite, e.g., Politifact.

I subscribed to Utne for a number of years. Back then, I'd describe the selections as more "naively optimistic" than flat crazy. Have they shifted towards conspiracy theory? That would be a shame.
