What freaking idiots to have to "fact check" such blatantly obvious satire.

These “Fact Checks” are just more far left activism.
Biden has lied for 20 years and there are no Fact checks.
They clear Lefties and attack anyone that’s not in
Woke Mob.
Snopes is their goal.

"In the aftermath, CNN is taking heat for a report and graphic it did not air." "Is that wrong? I swear, I just don't see that as being wrong."

Both Snopes and USA Today fact-checkers have shown they have zero understanding of satire as they have been checking Babylon Bee articles in the past. (Or to be gracious, it’s possible they do understand and they realize their audience are nimrods.)

Mostly peaceful...no on-camera rapes and beheadings.

Well, put all of CNNs administrators, executives in Kabul to report to the world how peaceful it is.

It’s not a lie if you believe it.
To: Rightwing Conspiratr1
It's hard to tell what they might be thinking when they decide to "fact check" satire. Maybe they think that they can impugn and smear conservatives and the Bee as stupid, irresponsible idiots by their ridiculous "fact check"?
It's surprising they haven't "fact checked" Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
