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.

NYT: "The Bee found itself walking the thin line between satire and fact in 2018, when it joked that CNN purchased an 'industrial-sized washing machine for spinning the news.'"

These are the examples they highlight to show we're far-right misinformation. Washing machine jokes.

Who are the people writing this nonsense? Are they the satirists and I'm the sucker?

I’ll be on Fox tonight with Shannon Bream discussing fake news. Then, when we’re done talking about The New York Times, we’ll talk Babylon Bee and satire.

Update: Got bumped to tomorrow night.

If you’re not white, but do something evil, then you’re white at heart.

“Don’t tell me the shooter wasn’t white. He was killing people.”

A clown nose would do the trick, too. And it'd look better.
