No other examples of far-right misinformation sites are offered. The Babylon Bee is the only one cited in this piece.

Notably, the words "trafficked in misinformation" are hyperlinked, presumably a supportive source. But the link they point to is another NY Times piece that actually refutes—rather than supports—the claim being made here by accurately describing us as a legitimate satire site.

I'm pretty sure there's a legal term for what's happening here.

Incredibly, the NY Times is publishing deceptive disinformation for the purpose of leading people to falsely believe that we are a source of it. Their dealings with us—and Project Veritas, for example—reveal the truth.

Here is the link they attached to the words "trafficked in misinformation."

The New York Times is using deceptive disinformation to smear us as being a source of deceptive disinformation.

Masks are highly effective at giving people a false sense of security and a low-effort reason to feel superior to people who aren’t as into virtue signaling as they are.

Jen Psaki keeps saying children at the border are fleeing violence and “prosecution” instead of persecution. 🤦🏻

Let's not forget the New York Times previously profiled the Bee. Kevin Roose interviewed the author of that profile and concluded: "The Babylon Bee is not a covert disinformation operation disguised as a right-wing satire site, and is in fact trying to do comedy . . ."

At least we're "trying." 😂

So what is MikeI Saac thinking when he cites both that profile and interview as evidence that we traffic in misinformation under the guise of satire? Roose "wondered" about whether we do that, but concluded (reluctantly, it seems) that we don't.

If you want to see just how badly Roose wanted to smear us as traffickers of misinformation, read this nonsense. From the noscript on down, it's clear he's straining to reach a desired conclusion but feels compelled to back off at the end.

The update still names us in a discussion about far-right misinformation sites that pretend to be doing satire. We are the only site named in that context. Why? The fact that some—like Snopes and yourself—have tried to make that lie stick doesn't make it any less of a lie.

Why note quote your own Kevin Roose, who after wanting to get the lie to stick himself finally acquiesced and acknowledged: "The Babylon Bee is not a covert disinformation operation disguised as a right-wing satire site . . ."

PJ Media's Tyler O’Neil can help you with your blind spot:

"Isaac could have cited The Babylon Bee as an example of the same dilemma that Facebook faced with Matt Bors. Instead, he made a blatantly false and arguably defamatory statement. ...

... "In Isaac’s 'reporting,' Bors is a misunderstood satirist, while The Babylon Bee traffics in 'misinformation under the guise of satire.'"

“The Army’s approach to fitness adds to the military’s ongoing debate about how to make the military a lethal fighting force and also improve its poor record of diversity.”

You have to choose — diversity or strength? A lethal fighting force is one of young, strong men.

A military that scores high on gender diversity is winning the wrong kind of battles.

I also recall her saying she only makes claims she can prove.

What an idiot.

It’s always racist and sexist to say things like this. Always.
