Just a shoutout to the admin of this community for recognizing satire from hack bullshit.

    It’s a shame really-- the Bee started out with some decent satire but they got sold and went full con dumbass. Early example of an article:

    In 2017, Hurricane Harvey battered Houston, Texas, causing widespread flooding. In that context, The Babylon Bee satirically criticized televangelist Joel Osteen with a headline that read: “Joel Osteen Sails Luxury Yacht Through Flooded Houston to Pass Out Copies Of Your Best Life Now”.
