You don’t need a Babylon Bee parody about how the MSM is reporting the ayatollah’s death when you have the Washington Post describing him as an “avuncular figure” with a “bushy white beard and an easy smile” who loved Persian poetry and Western literature. Who died? The ayatollah or Santa Claus?

Once again, it took me a minute to realize I was reading the Babylon Bee and not the real MSM.

This one cracks me up since they mandate sex changes or a toss off a building if found gay.

On the contrary, Attempts to put Epstein on page 1 are attempts to obscure the real stories... Welfare Fraud, Swamp Fraud, Ukraine, Iran, etc.

You can tell what kid will end up working at the MSM it’s the one that talks to trees and pulls wings of butterfly’s.
