##### WEDNESDAY EDITION
# Snopes Debunker
Today's edition is sponsored once again by the [1440 newsletter](https://l.join1440.com/?utm_source=snopes&utm_medium=nl-ad)!
1440 has built a newsletter with nearly 5 million readers to offer a nonpartisan, unbiased daily view of the news. I feel we have a similar mission, which is why I originally asked 1440 to sponsor our newsletter. They love our audience so they keep sponsoring more.
You'll notice any links you click on in today's newsletter to Snopes have fewer ads thanks to this sponsorship. Consider trying out the [free 1440 newsletter](https://l.join1440.com/?utm_source=snopes&utm_medium=nl-ad) to round out your inbox with an unbiased look at the news.

## Is the 1440 newsletter an unbiased source?
We wrote an [article](https://www.snopes.com/news/2024/02/01/is-1440-news-unbiased/?email_sub_id=sub_6accd90a-e020-4a3a-beb6-491bef97b4da) about 1440 in early 2024, after readers asked us if the newsletter was legitimate. We found that 1440's newsletter generally sticks to the facts and does not favor one political leaning over another. Two years later, 1440 is sponsoring our newsletter and getting great results from Snopes' audience.
