Snopes launched a probe looking into the plagiarism allegations after BuzzFeed News sent inquiries to the fact-checker. Their investigation concluded Mikkelson plagiarized in a whopping 54 articles under his own name, a pseudonym "Jeff Zarronandia," and the generic Snopes staff in the byline.

They didn't say it was theirs, he used it without attribution - that is called plagiarism. When THEY found out that HE had plagiarized someone else's work, THEY immediately initiated an investigation, suspended HIM from editorial work, and apologized publicly to US and privately to the authors whose work had been used. This apparently happened a few times over the years compared to many thousands of articles.
So, is it your opinion that the entire organization should be condemned for the actions of one?
