The Babylon Bee is making the Ministry of Propaganda look ridiculous and they don’t like that.

One think I know, it the writers over at The Bee are so good, they’re probably giddy with glee over this opportunity.
To: Zenyatta
I can't believe you posted this. Everyone knows that the New York Times is a satire site, posing as a left-wing "newspaper". You're not supposed to take them seriously.

Decades of crap shared as “Real news” from the Onion and they Left thought it was great how they’d share “Christians oppose masturbation, calling it rape” type stories as fact on social media.
Apparently no one is allowed to mock the Left.

No wonder why the Babylon Bee created Not The Bee because some of the stories from the Left are Babylon Bee worthy but for REAL. 😏

They want Babylon Bee to make a satire on the NY Times to get some more clicks.

The headline itself sounds like it came from the Bee.

In case anyone missed it, the New York Times also wrote a story today about the New York Post newspaper.
The NY Times claims that the NY Post reporter who wrote the story about Hunter Biden’s emails refused to sign his name to the Post story because it had not been completely verified.
So, the NY Times has enough reporters to write a critical story about a Conservative newspaper, but they do not have enough reporters to go out and actually investigate the accuracy of the Hunter Biden emails!

The Bee should frame this article and hang it proudly.
It’s their ‘trophy’, and a dam fine one at that.

Apparently no one is allowed to mock the Left. To learn who rules over you, simply determine whom you are not permitted to criticize.

The NYT is appealing to the same idiots who get their news only through “The Daily Show”. That’s real news to leftists.

To see how utterly foolish the Times is by hitting at the Bee, let us reverse the scenario.
The Onion is left of center, but nobody would mistake it as ‘misinformation’. Nobody could possibly miss that all they do is satire.
So let us say that the Washington Times went after them for daring to satire. They’d be roundly ridiculed by the left.
The New York Times is a parody of a news organization, and they are joyless at that.
