“Dog bites man” stories don’t generate headlines, or clicks. This one should.
Big Tech is attacking The Babylon Bee. Again.
The right-leaning, God-fearing humor site is under steady assault from both the press and social media platforms like Facebook. For example, The New York Times bullied the Bee in print, forcing the site to lawyer up. The Bee demanded a retraction from the far-left paper for maligning the site and its mission.
The newspaper relented earlier this month.
hat’s just part of the story. Facebook has been attacking The Bee for years, falsely claiming its satirical articles are “Fake News” meant to trick the average reader.
Earlier this year Instagram also threatened to remove the Bee’s CEO, Seth Dillon, from its services for absurd, anti-science reasons.
Now, MailChimp is piling on. Mailchimp, a company offering email list services to web sites, briefly suspended The Babylon Bee’s account earlier today citing its violation of “Acceptable Use” policy.

Insist they bake the cake.
The BB has been a constant source of OBVIOUS humor and sarcasm since like ... forever.
The left has no sense…..of humor.
Once again:

Somewhere on the Serengeti a zebra is preaching peaceful coexistence with predators is possible....
If people are tricked into believing the satirical humor of the BB, they need to retire to their basement or their mom’s attic.
The “progressives” also hate Mallard Fillmore. The strip deftly points out the idiocy and hypocrisy of the left. Just like the devil, they can’t stand ridicule.
We need to face facts. This is a civil war and they will shoot at us when they get an excuse, or think they can get away with it.
It’s true that the left has no sense. No sense of humor, no common sense, no sense at at all.
However, they object to the Babylon Bee because its satire hits too close to home. The Babylon Bee intends for its stories to be interpreted as ridicule of the left, but far too often its intentionally ridiculous stories end up being fulfilled prophecies a year or so later.
The liberals’ suppression of speech continues. They won’t be satisfied until they have total power and we’re all dead.
“This is a civil war and they will shoot at us when they get an excuse, or think they can get away with it.l
Yep. See my tag line.

It’s hard to do satire when people are seemingly looking at the whole of comedy and satire of numerable decades and saying: “Hold my beer!”
I guess mocking yesterday’s ridiculous speech was the final straw.
They printed an article about the surge in demand for F-15s.
Some people have no sense of humor.
When the left attacks the Babylon Bee, they are basically conceding that it is hard to tell the difference between satire and what the left is actually doing, so that people often confuse the one for the other.
Some of the BB articles have turned out to be prophecy.
Others are so close to home, you need to look at the byline.
Don't read tag lines, either post it in the thread or it ain't worth reading.......
I got an A-10 at a swap meet yesterday.
I’m ready since 2001; they die first.
