The problem with Babylon Bee is that conservatives aren’t smart enough to know it’s satire. So now we have to rebut and defend against the bullshit they read there as if it were real.
The Babylon Bee also makes articles under the guise of satire in an attempt to take advantage of this very fact. They’re basically a misinformation source that calls themselves satire because they know their base will take them seriously, but they can deny it. They’re basically Fox News calling themselves the onion.
if you think Babylon Bee is satire I recommend you watch this https://www.youtube.com/shorts/U2Srxl7bw6c
and then tell me how it is anything but thinly veiled right-wing propaganda

I could be convinced that the first one is satire about what conservatives think the country is turning into, some real Tony Zaret shit

Oh, yeah, We pushed so hard for it that now its (to the best of my limited knowledge, also hopefully) behind a psyche eval instead of a simple (dumb, no complex logic) age gate.Its a decently made skit with a well written script. Good job making mential poison, Now stop being a weasel and go do somthing better with your life.we**, it’s*, psych*, mental*, now** (**or maybe you meant to use a semicolon instead of a comma).
Consider reading without giving input until you understand what people are talking about.
Wow, i didnt relize how terrably made my comment was. Im going to delete it do more work and try again.
So now you’re giving them even more exposure by sharing them here?
Pretty sure that site is satire, iirc with some right leaning bias but my memory is vague.
So it’s political ads, but at least fake politics :P
“Satire”. That site is as subtle with its propaganda as Trump is. This is just pushing the stole election bs, paid for to be on the front page no matter what.
Correct, it’s supposed to be The Onion but conservative.
It’s hard to tell sometimes because conservatives suck at comedy.
Indeed, the Babylon Bee is very cringe
Conservative humor: trip a child and laugh when it is injured.
Well that’s what you get for using new. Switch back to old.
This was in the app. No choice anymore.
Of course he gave a sizeable lead with them, his base never threatened to kill them.
Is this appearing on feeds that don’t include r/babylonbee? Shouldn’t there be some sort of an ad indicator if so?
Yeah, it didn’t have the 3 dot menu to show less posts about this or whatever. It was like an ad that I couldn’t get rid of via any method in the app. It wasn’t simply a post on the sub. I don’t visit that sub, showed up in my curated feed.
I already get that on Lemmy for Biden. 🙄
Is that because the only people hand counting now are regressives?
