    I didn't realize satire was that hard to identify. Why would CNN care that much? I wonder if there's a partisan component to the concern over 'disinformation':

    They have a good sense of humor. I am too serious.

    It's American to poke fun at those in power. We loved Will Rogers and Bob Hope. Let's keep it up. If CNN criticizes the Babylon Bee then I say CNN is un-American. Let them throw a little humor back at the Bee.

    "... after his grandkids showed him how to use eBay." That part and the followup "A crestfallen Sanders backed away slowly to go ask his grandkids about eBay's return policy." -- pretty funny without being offense.

    The one about the pay gap between Robert Downey, Jr. was obviously writte by someone with no real understanding of the issue.

    That last one about Joe and the spray bottles: priceless! :roflol:

    That's an interesting website. The writers of those little bits are very clever.

    There is no room in politics for politcal humor. Politics is humorless. Thank you Babylon Bee.

    I owe a sincere debt of gratitude to CNN. I'd never heard of Babylon Bee; now it's one of my favorites. Funny stuff !

    the left will never cease trying to censure the world and censor media/internet, they do not want anyone, nor any entity, to speak out against them and their wacko policies... look no further than the eu, where it is now a crime punishable with imprisonment...
