"We've long admired CNN's ability to parody leftist media organizations so effortlessly, and we're thrilled to have them under The Babylon Bee's umbrella," said site CEO Seth Dillon. "When you can't compete with hilarious satire like CNN, you obviously look for ways to get them on your team, and an acquisition seemed to make the most sense." The new conglomerate organization will be called BNN. CNN writers and hosts will be instructed to simply keep doing what they're doing. "We don't want them to change anything since you don't try to fix satirical content that's already incredible," Dillon said. "They'll just keep churning out incredibly skewed content in order to satirize the leftist media's inability to report anything without bias or prejudice." Brian Stelter will produce satirical videos for The Babylon Bee, moving the site into the realm of video content for the first time. Again, though, his show's content will remain unchanged. CNN will also benefit, as their content will now be clearly labeled satire, protecting them from getting sued to high heaven for their skewed coverage. Site founder Adam Ford was against the move, but nobody listens to him anymore.

Personally, I think they over paid. They should have had Donald Trump negotiate the deal.

Waiting for CNN to get Snopes to debunk this in 3, 2, 1....

Can we get these guys on every monitor in an airport 24/7?

Personally, I always thought The Babylon Bee had more accurate content. At least they’ve never pretended to be a serious news outlet.

[Real Cynic No More]

Would have been a better article if the price had been stated as $120,000.

[Sasparilla]

I didn’t know that CNN was for sale.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

When the Bee first started out I was not impressed.

The snark was there but to be good satire has to contain elements of truth and I just was not seeing it.

They have gotten much better.

Can’t wait for Snopes to fact-check this...

[GoldenPup]

Bee probably paid full CNN value...$2. Maybe a little less.
