Under Mounting Pressure From Snopes, Babylon Bee Writers Forced To Admit They Are Not Real Journalists

Quote
"The headlines, the copy, the quotes---they're all fake," said the site's editor in chief, hanging his head in shame. "It started a few years ago. We made up a few stories about church culture, some about politics, some about everyday life, just for fun." But the EIC said that things quickly got out of hand, as their completely made-up stories started going viral.

"It all happened so fast," he said. "We just wanted to have a little fun and make some jokes, and I guess it got out of hand."

Just amazing what passes for fake news these days.   =D

Say it ain't so, Joe.

Isn't there a military one, too?  

Is the New York Times under Snopes' scrutiny yet?

Has Snopes automatically listed this as false yet?

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Ironically, most of what the Bee puts out is closer to the truth than the MSM. [popcorn] :rofl:
