R.I.P. Scout26
The Babylon Bee set off Facebook’s alarm bells by publishing a satirical piece stating that CNN had purchased an “industrial-size washing machine to spin news before publication.” This is obviously a joke and is clearly marked satire and is published on a site entirely devoted to satire. But the uptight jerks over at Snopes decided to fact check the Bee’s claim, to ensure that no one actually thought that CNN “made a significant investment in heavy machinery.” Uh, okay. Thanks, Snopes! Would’ve totally fallen for that one!...Snopes has repeatedly fact-checked tongue-in-cheek claims by the satirical site, to make sure everyone know that it is indeed NOT A FEDERAL CRIME to play Christmas music before Thanksgiving, and that California Christians DO NOT NEED to register their Bible’s as assault weapons. Because they think people would really need Snopes to tell them that this is a joke.
They're really trolling the hell out of Facebook now that this came out.
