Babylon Bee – Lee Duigon

‘Babylon Bee’ Has Stung Me, But Good

It’s a tough time for satirists. People have a hard time telling the difference between a satire and a nooze item.

The ace satirists at The Babylon Bee got me good, just now, with their piece claiming “Disney+” wants children to confirm their parents are out before watching any of the site’s content (https://babylonbee.com/news/disney-will-now-ask-you-to-confirm-no-parents-are-in-the-room-before-viewing-content). If I had only noticed the BB logo at the top of the page, I would’ve known it was a hoax. But I didn’t notice, so they got me all worked up… until I saw the logo at the bottom of the page.

In my defense, it wasn’t a hoax when several school districts tried to get parents to promise that they wouldn’t watch or listen to the “lessons” being fed to their kids via remote viewing. This helped lead to a fourfold increase in homeschooling.

“Entertainment” wackos like Disney Corp, like teachers’ unions, are preying on our children to try to turn them into good little transgender socialists. Parents need to catch on and put a stop to it.

Disney has gone way over onto the dark side: parents beware.

Fox Nooze: A Tower of Hypocrisy

I can’t bring myself to post a relevant photo. It’s really too disheartening. So here are some nice puppies instead.

Not one single talking head at Fox Nooze, the (ahem!)… the, uh… I can’t say it! [Takes deep breath.] Fox Nooze, which once upon a time was widely believed to be a conservative news network… Anhow, they hired fake bogus “woman” Bruce Jenner to be a commentator, and not a single on-camera “personality” at Fox resigned in protest.

If they’re “conservatives,” what are they conserving? Before the ink was dry, phony Sean Hanity was kow-towing at Jenner’s feet and using all the female pronouns. Like, if you can’t even “conserve” the distinction between man and woman, what earthly good are you? Might as well be a Democrat.

The man says he’s a woman. I can put a paper bag over my head and say I’m a crop-dusting biplane; but that wouldn’t make me one. It would just make me a nut.

So they’re all staying at Fox Nooze and pretending they’re conservatives.

Meanwhile the Babylon Bee, an avowedly satirical site, has been cast out from Twitter for making fun of this ugly guy with nail polish who says he’s a woman. He holds now a high position in the, um, government. The Bee made fun of him, so Twitter censored them. Not only that: you can only come back, Twitter said, if you delete the tweet (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10635519/Babylon-Bee-refuses-delete-tweet-mocking-Rachel-Levine-despite-blocked-Twitter.html). Standing up for their rights–and for the truth, too, by the way–the Bee refused to delete.

At least somebody’s out there doing right.

But, see, making fun of freaks in government is, like, “Hate.” And Hate is hateful! Not allowed.

Except, of course, libs and progs can hate the rest of us passionately, nearly choking on their own poison, hate us night and day, hate everything we say, think, or do–and somehow when they hate us, that’s okay, that’s proof of virtue.

If we stand for lies and hate the truth, we’re well on our way to Hell.

Snopes Gets Snoped by Satire Site

“It’s free–right?”

They were quick to fact-check this question: Did Far Left Crazy Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Another Galaxy) repeatedly guess “Free!” as a contestant on “The Price Is Right”? (https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2019/04/16/snopes-fact-checks-christian-satire-website-babylon-bee-again/)

This amusing tidbit was cooked up by the Babylon Bee, a Christian website well-known for its clever satires. They imagined O’Crazy-O as a contestant on the popular game show: no matter what the item in question–luggage, luxury cruise, jewelry, whatever–she blurted out “Free!” When asked by MC Drew Carey if she understood the rules of the game, she parried, “Don’t hate me ’cause you ain’t me.”

Despite the fact that this was obviously a satire, on a site famous for its satire, the august leftid “fact-check” maven Snopes rushed in to discover–gasp!–that the story wasn’t true. Who would’ve thought it?

After the Snopes finding that this here event, it, like, never happened, Facebook threatened Babylon Bee with censorship if they pulled any more stunts like this. Uh… How are you supposed to do satire if you don’t do stunts like this? Or are they going to decide you can only satirize Republicans?

I thought we had an absolute right to diss our puffed-up rulers every chance we get. Without getting “investigated” by Snopes. And when, by the way, was the last time Snopes “investigated” anyone saying “Trump is a fascist”?

I mean, really–if you can’t make fun of AOC, why even bother?

Another Censorship ‘Mistake’

leeduigon(patty)March 4, 2018

I’ve often said these are hard times for satirists. No sooner do you create something way too exaggerated to be true, than some leftid ninny actually says it or does it.

A Christian satire site, The Babylon Bee, made satirical fun of CNN, reporting that the nooze giant “purchased an industrial-sized washing machine to help its journalists and news anchors spin the news before publication” (https://hotair.com/archives/2018/03/02/facebook-snopes-come-hard-satire-site/).

Because leftids have no sense of humor, some of them complained to Facebook, which went to its go-to fact-checker… Snopes, another nest of leftids. Snopes flagged the satire as “fake news,” genuinely intended to deceive, and Facebook issued the Bee a stern warning–

Which had to be withdrawn as soon as someone realized the “fake news” was, in fact, a satire. And Facebook apologized for the “mistake” and rescinded the warning.

Why are there suddenly so many censorship “mistakes” being made by the social media?

And why are all of them made exclusively at the expense of conservatives? Why do these guys never make a “mistake” that censors leftids?

And why can’t these muttonheads recognize satire when they see it?
