Leon Wolf Lights Snopes UP For ‘Fact Checking’ Satire Site Babylon Bee Yet Again

Babylon Bee is a satire website.

Their brand satire and the targets of their mockery tend to appeal to conservatives (with a sense of humor.)

Enter insufferably liberal ‘fact checkers’ at Snopes.

AGAIN – It’s a SATIRE website. They make this abundantly clear. But Snopes just needs to make SURE everyone realizes the folks over at Babylon Bee are a BUNCH OF LYING LIARS. YOU CAN’T SATIRIZE LIBERALS. YOU SHOULD ONLY EVER MAKE FUN OF EVIL ORANGE TRUMP.

This isn’t the first time they’ve done this. It probably won’t be the last time:

"If Israel is so innocent, then why do they insist on being Jews?" https://t.co/zr9a3Kklps

Dear GOD. Yeah – you don’t say.

Hello, people at @snopes. I see that you have “fact checked” another obvious satire article from the Babylon Bee that lampoons a liberal, and I have questions. 1/ https://t.co/kHusXZ1XLu

If you guys wanna beclown yourselves fact checking obvious satire that’s your business. But surely you are equally interested in fact checking the Babylon Bee’s satire that lampoons conservatives. Right? You’re not partisan hacks after all. Right? 2/

So perhaps you could direct me to where you guys fact checked the “claim” that Sean Hannity said that the existence of ice cream disproves global warming, as “reported” by the Babylon Bee? https://t.co/hcTMJaUbIG 3/

(I lol-ed.)

Or perhaps your fact check of whether Ron Paul really has been appointed to the Federal reserve and plans to literally blow it up? https://t.co/2bxwr1hBsU 4/

(I REALLY lol-ed.)

Maybe I am just not seeing it but I couldn’t find your fact check of whether Trump really said he wouldn’t let Jesus into his heart after he found out Jesus was from the Middle East? https://t.co/65hSdkpBmi 5/

EXCUSE ME. I’MMA NEED A FACT CHECK ON THIS. SNOPES, GET ON IT.

I am likewise sure that there is a fact check of the claim that Franklin Graham said that he would get a “God-given anointing” if he touched the hem of Trump’s garment, and I’m just missing it. https://t.co/LO3veMsP37 6/

YUP. Surely they covered this. Surely.

Same story with the claim that Robert Jefress said to Trump, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you.” https://t.co/EqwnoZQmCg 7/

*crickets*

I mean, I could go on and on but since I know you aren’t actually partisan hacks who are pretending to be objective fact checkers, I’m sure there is a roughly equal number of these Babylon Bee articles lampooning conservatives that you’ve fact checked, and I’m missing them. 8/

Although admittedly, the search function on your website is possibly giving the wrong impression on that score. 9/ pic.twitter.com/FDnYxIn9mE

Dear GOD. All you have to do is read the headlines to realize how ABSURD this all is.

Meanwhile, so far as I can tell, this is the only one of dozens (hundreds?) of Bee articles lampooning conservatives that I can find that Snopes bothered to check https://t.co/4mt3TO4m1B 10/

— Leon Wolf (@LeonHWolf) May 10, 2019

But maybe I’m doing the search wrong. I look forward to finding out!
