So if wrote a piece about a fact-checking site “checking facts” on a satirical story, you’d either think that the “Fact Check” site was the one being satirical, or that the satire site had gone just a tad over the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Neither is apparently the case in this story, in which Snopes “fact checks” Babylon Bee – which, in its own way may be America’s finest news source today, if you think about it – and a “story” it did about Jussie Smollett getting a job at CNN. Babylon Bee was (so far) being satirical<\/a>, and Snopes was not<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh, yeah – did I say the Bee was likely America’s most reliable source of news? I’m being a little less satirical than they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jussie Smollett Offered Job At CNN After Fabricating News Story Out Of Thin Airhttps:\/\/t.co\/RNCG1r6ShA<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Efsd5WEOMa<\/a><\/p>— The Babylon Bee (@TheBabylonBee) February 18, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote>
