One of the most pernicious tools of the “censorship industrial complex” is the fact-checkers in the MSM. They declare true stories that are harmful to Democrats to be false on the flimsiest of pretexts, and then the social media companies use the dishonest recommendations of the fact-checkers to censor the truth.
No one understands this better than the satirists who write the comedy articles at the Babylon Bee.
The Babylon Bee, if you’ve never checked it out, is a hilarious satire site that writes fake news articles from a conservative Christian viewpoint. Unlike so much of the comedy world these days, the Babylon Bee is actually very funny.
In an odd turn of events, reality is often weirder than fiction these days, so when the Babylon Bee publishes a satirical article, it later ends up coming true! Are they comedians… or prophets?
Anyway, a truly funny development for the Babylon Bee in recent years is that whenever one of their articles goes viral, it actually gets fact-checked. The not-funny part of all this is that when a Babylon Bee article is declared to be “debunked” by Snopes or some other site, the social media companies then try to censor their jokes.
Seth Dillon is the CEO of the Babylon Bee, and he sat down with Tucker Carlson to talk about his hilarious website. Here’s a clip from the interview where they talk about some of the top fact-checks that Snopes has done on their articles…
