Last I heard, those folks made a living off satire, spoofs, and practical jokes.
So, I would take any reports of trashed Shakespearean folios coming from that direction with a dose of salt. Like five or six pounds worth.

Just me, mind you.
Cracked articles are generally adequately sourced enough to be credible information on whatever the topic of the article is. They just surround it with crude, humorous phrasing and images. Most of the time you can easily tell which parts they're exagerating/distorting for humorous effect, which parts they're pulling completely out of their asses, and which parts are real.
