CNN Attacks Babylon Bee: 'The Internet Is Only Big Enough For One Fake News Site' (Satire)
Babylon Bee ^ | 1/7/10 | Babylon Bee

Posted on 01/07/2020 9:43:06 AM PST by jeannineinsd

U.S.—CNN has slammed the world's best satire site, The Babylon Bee, after CNN exeuctives realized that "fake news" articles on the website were getting at least as much social media traction as their own.

"There ain't room in this internet for the both of us," growled one CNN anchor on the air Monday evening. "There simply aren't enough people out there for us to fool with our fake news stories and The Babylon Bee to fool with their satire. There isn't enough clickbait and outrage traffic to go around."

Reporters at the media outlet also pointed out that their news was "much faker" than The Babylon Bee's.

"They're obviously amateurs over there at The Bee," said Brian Stelter. "A lot of times, their reporting comes true. If you're gonna do fake news, do it right -- 100% fake, guaranteed, 24/7. They really should learn from the pros over here at CNN."

"Stay out of our territory," he growled.

I’d believe the BB over anything the MSM reports.

Obviously a slow news day even for the “Bee”!

“They’re obviously amateurs over there at The Bee,” said Brian Stelter. “A lot of times, their reporting comes true. If you’re gonna do fake news, do it right — 100% fake, guaranteed, 24/7. They really should learn from the pros over here at CNN.”

“Stay out of our territory,” he growled.

The best satire contains a strong element of truth, and there is far more truth in BB than CNN.

The Bee had one earlier announcing that CNN was launching a new channel called "CNN:Real" to try their hand at reporting unbiased objective news.
