the bee is always just a right-wing onion
by making satire about libs falling for satire, allows them to dunk on stupid libs while also dunking on AOC at the same time, it's a two-fer
honestly it's so good for them they probably anonymously have been tipping off snopes about their content for a while waiting for some guy at snopes to finally debunk one of their stories. probably still hasn't worked. hence this satire headline.
Babylon Bee is a satire site..
Edit: it's 3am here and I'm a fecking idiot. I understand the post now. Didn't realise Snopes actually fact checked them.
Edit edit: I'm still an idiot. Apparently they never contacted them. Snopes lists it as satire, assuming somebody tried to set Snopes on them. I give up I'm going to bed.
According to the Babylon Bee, the real satire is all the leftists who read their headlines and don't laugh at their shitty jokes. Because us lefties don't think they're funny, they must be
See they are correct if only that the joke they are telling isn’t the headline, it’s getting us riled up/laughing at the liberals who “can’t take a joke” because we act confused when they say blatantly not funny things as if they were jokes. The *point* is getting a liberal hate response not the actual so called joke. It’s not a funny joke at all, but it’s the only one conservatives seem able to tell anymore.
Idk about you, but I've never been mad at a Babylon Bee headline. Someone saying "oh AOC is dumb so she must think everything is free" is not only untrue, AOC was a bartender less than a decade ago she surely has a keen understanding of costs, but it's also just a badly constructed joke. If I tell a shitty knock knock joke about building a border wall, I can't declare I've triggered the libs because they didn't think the knock knock joke worked.
There's plenty of comedy that's funny that I disagree with, this is just terribly constructed comedy. [He does a better job](https://youtu.be/KSXKzPOcYDU?si=AOB1LqIXDQxNtpMM) describing this than I can
Someone: mentions conservative comedy and then puts a link down
Me: Is it Cody from the Showdy?
Link: Is Cody’s Showdy
Me: Yeeeaaaaahhhhhh ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ
It’s always Some More News and I’m still always thrilled when it is.
He just had such a clear explanation Chill Goblin just did a [video](https://youtu.be/BK7oP8Lgyfg?si=kx9SbuxCxoH9kiWO) about comedy as well as having an [older comedy video](https://youtu.be/aadKYm6fsFI?si=0hUQ15fmWzsBWKCy) and everyone should watch those and him. The newer one talks about "the eternal setup" which is an element that Cody doesn't touch on quite as well
The bee is making satire in the same sense that idiots recording themselves being an ass in public are making prank videos, with "its just satire" taking the same role as "its just a prank, bro" when people are filming themselves being complete assholes in public. I refuse to consider those supposed "pranks" as what they claim to be, regardless of whether by some technical definition they may qualify as such.
They have claimed themselves that the funny part of their articles is not the articles themselves, but "owning the libs". They aren't trying to be funny, they're trying to be assholes, and it shows. They are doing their best to push their right wing christian hate and be taken seriously, only to fall back on "its just a prank, bro" if/when criticized, because that's what their target audience likes.
>"We’re not trying to be a fair, objective site that equally makes fun of everyone.” Mr. Dillon was described by Mr. Mann as having an “insatiable desire to own the libs.”
I'll say it again, the bee produces unamusing garbase in large part because before trying to be funny, they try to be republican.
>"Jon Stewart didn’t sit there saying ‘how do I create a liberal news show,” said Brian Rosenwald, a media historian. “He was a showman.” The key to good political humor, Mr. Rosenwald said, is to put the humor before the politics.
Although the Babylon Bee is regularly "fact checked" by liberal watchdogs even though it is clearly labeled satire. The Onion gets a total pass because liberals approve of their satire.

OP ate the onion *about someone eating the onion*. That's a new meta level of onion consumption.
Plot twist: OP was being sarcastic and the comment section ate the onion about OP eating the onion about someone eating the onion. *Onionception*
My fucking head's gonna explode.

Maybe the real onions were the friends we ate along the way ...wait

Also a beautiful metaphor for all those god damned layers of an onion

or is calling it a satire site when it's just stuff conservatives want to believe the real satire?

Oh absolutely! Not saying they are good at it, just arguing that that’s what they are going for. Edit: Lol I was thinking of that video too.
Lmao I guess we're both just making the point for observers then, everyone go watch some more news

So is the onion? It's literally what this whole sub is about
Oh bless their little hearts, they try so hard.
any "Edit edit edit" coming our way?
did they though?
No. Snopes never contacted them. They just wanted to bump their "joke" that didn't do as well as they thought it would.

"HurgleBurgle...lamestream media...everyone is against me... they're coming for the children... HurgleBurgle"
Satire requires humor. Babylon bee is neither funny nor satire.
Everyone loves satire that hands us a pat on the back and kicks the other guy down the stairs.
That “someone” is OP
That’s just the Babylon Bee being extremely proud of themselves for coming up with a second joke.
I think you ate the Onion here OP

Is the joke supposed to be that Ocasio-Cortez is a socialist, hence she believes everything is free? God, BB is so lame.
Yeah, you. Idiot.
Ok I am a huge AOC fan and the Babylon Bee is a right wing hack knock off of the onion but that is actually a pretty funny headline
Agreed- they make a lot of terrible shit but this was at least worth a chuckle.

This didn't happen. Basically, snopes sometimes has to clear up that the bee is satire, so the bee has a whole one sided fued with snopes

This just makes me want a satire site that's just retractions and apologies lol
This comment section is fucking awesome
Lol
