Satire news site the Babylon Bee told readers they are planning on looking into legal action against the fact-checking site Snopes over what the Babylon Bee said is an attempt at deplatforming.
“Last week, Snopes fact-checked us again. We’re pretty used to that. But this time, instead of merely rating the article ‘false,’ they questioned whether our work qualifies as satire, and even went so far as to suggest that we were deliberately deceiving our readers,” the Babylon Bee said in a note to its readers. “Basically, they treated us as a source of intentionally misleading fake news, rather than as the legitimate, well-known satire publication that we are. This is a big deal.” More
How the fuck is SNOPES going to call ANYONE fake news? LOLOL
Snopes got busted a long time ago as biased towards democrats.
It’s useless, unless you’re a useful idiot of the left.
BB,
Take Snoops to the cleaners, down to their socks and panties. Then take their socks (but leave their panties – eewwwww).
Good luck.
Actions have consequences. It’s about time these DeMSM presstitutes were held accountable for theirs.
Snopes is trying to go the SPLC route and get themselves set up as the arbiter of truth for social media. Snopes is a bad joke until they get the power to have people banned or demonetized on social media, and it is obvious they’re going to push the envelope until they get there. Babylon Bee is smart to challenge them now instead of waiting until they’re a powerful, half-billion dollar censorship shop like SPLC.
Here is the lowdown at Snopes: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4730092/Snopes-brink-founder-accused-fraud-lying.html
Good article from National Review:

This attack upon the Babylon Bee is just another example of a liberal who cannot take a joke.
I guess the problem for the Babylon Bee is that leftists are so idiotic that you can’t tell what is satire and what is an actual report of something a leftist did.
Add to that that leftists are the ones who get confused by Babylon Bee stories and you can see why Snopes has a problem with it.
When there’s ANY truth in a joke, Liberals can’t take it.
As sunlight is to vampires so is humor to leftists who long to control every aspect of your life.
They want it outlawed because because it has the power to burn them with truth while poking fun at the irony of their self contradictions. example Why should you vote for Hillary? Because she would be the first female POUTS and it’s time. … … Did you hear? Bruce Jenner is a woman and gender is a social construct.
How can we be sure this is not satire?
This illustrates why libtards ALSO SUCK at memes. 🙄
They suck at “humor” in general.
It’s like the old arms race. First, the BB come up with what they think is obvious satire, the Left says, “hold my beer”.
Then the BB has to be even more outrageous. Again the Left counters with industrial grade stupidity.
This leaves the BB to go to absurd lengths to reach “satire”.
It’s not easy being a writer at the Bee!
