"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".
Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.
Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.
In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.
WARNING! With due reverence to the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment there is NO comment policy on the News Snipet.

"I decided to put on my flag pin tonight -- first time. Until now
I haven't thought it necessary to display a little metallic icon
of patriotism for everyone to see....I put it on to take it back.
The flag's been hijacked and turned into a logo -- the trademark
of a monopoly on patriotism....When I see flags sprouting on
official lapels, I think of the time in China when I saw Mao's
Little Red Book on every official's desk, omnipresent and
unread....I put it on to remind myself that not every patriot
thinks we should do to the people of Baghdad what bin Laden did to
us."
-- Bill Moyers on his PBS show Now, February 28, 2003
