Humor is an amazing antidote to brainwashing—and the New York Times is in the brainwashing business.
Variation of old Russian joke—”In America, TV programs you!”

No introspection either, or else after noticing that they can’t tell their own politics from satire they might wonder if maybe they are the problem.

Well, FaceBooks fact-checkers, like CNN’s “fact” checkers are completely unbiased and honest, and don’t want us “hicks and hayseeds” to read anything ‘not truthish’ so we should be thankful they’re keeping us safe, and shielding us from those evil neo-nazi/alt-right/racist-deplorables.

The problem isnt The Bee. Every time you do some outrageous satire about the Left, they take it as a challenge and they do something even more outrageous.
I like to say Im old enough to remember when The Bee was a satire site.

I had that quote plus these two others while looking for it.
The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to texts of Scripture, is to jeer and flout him, for he cannot bear scorn. Martin Luther
Above all else, the Devil cannot stand to be mocked. C. S. Lewis

To: MAGAthon
The Real Facebook Oversight Boards inaugural demands are fairly modest: first, Facebook must remove posts that incite violence, even those from public figures, including the President; second, Facebook must ban all advertising that mentions Presidential-election results until one person is definitively declared the winner, and his opponent concedes; and, third, Facebook must label as untrue any post that declares a winner, until the victory is certified and the losing candidate has conceded. A few hours after the group enumerated these demands, it scored its first win: Facebook announced that it would not allow any ads that delegitimized the elections outcome... Since Hillary has advised Biden to never concede, that means that Facebook will never allow any Trump victory to be considered legitimate.

Nothing hurts liberals more than being sincerely laughed at.
Especially when it is highly accurate satire.

“...sometimes tricks a bit too well...” It’s not fair, apparently, because they cannot discern between satire and news. And because some of the jabs strike too close to the truth, it would seem! As has been said, the only distress of a rebuke (or satirization) is the element of truth to it.

Its like what The Daily Show does to left-wingers, except we know the Bee isnt actual news. They really fall for it.

Why is the New York Times worried about the Babylon bee? Maybe the Bee has a larger circulation?

You forgot to mention irony on your list of leftist deficiencies. The left is completely irony deficient, in their total inability to recognize it.
