The New York Times recently updated a piece on Facebook’s moderation of satire, removing a claim that Babylon Bee “trafficked in misinformation.”
The New York Times, in the middle of a court battle over allegedly defamatory articles, which, according to a judge, said reporters failed to note that they inserted opinions, made the update and issued a correction after receiving a demand for a retraction over claims about the Babylon Bee, a satire website.

Also from the article; All reference to the Bee was removed, except for in the correction. “An earlier version of this article referred imprecisely to the Babylon Bee, a right-leaning satirical website, and a controversy regarding the handling of its content by Facebook and the fact-checking site Snopes,” the NY Times said in the correction.
Do note the inclusion by the NYT of the description of the BB as 'a right-leaning satirical website'. Should one search the NYT archives for reference(s) to 'left-leaning' in ANYTHING? Probably not, to the NYT, LEFTism is the water they swim in, in other words, normality!

Someone made the comment in a BB video on YT that the Bee is the closest thing we have to a legitimate press in America. :-)

The New York Times traffics in misinformation as a regular matter of business.

The NYT should be renamed the Babylon Flea. Or better yet, the Babylon Dung Beetle.

Satire is one step from insurrection against the State. Just the tip of the iceberg.
YouTube clip is from the movie Das Leben die Anderen. It presents an unvarnished view of life in the DDR.

Maybe the NYT writers are computer programs instead of humans. Dumb computer programs. On Star Trek TNG the android “Data” was at least trying to understand humor.

What isn’t satire but is equally difficult to believe is that this lunacy ever ended up in court at all.
