They are good points. Satire is meant as a vehicle for scathing critique. But, I think they get the causation wrong. People read the Bee because it's funny. It's funny because it humorously illustrates things readers already know to be true.

I don't think it's funny. Only people who like their 'right-wing disinformation' will think they're funny. The site is obviously pushing a narrative with right-wing disinformation, especially to a demographic that think's they're Christians, aka the American Taliban.

The world's miserable enough.

I am sincere in my concerns about Babylon Bee, not trolling. Ask me anything. Yes, there is no joy in this Satanic website.

Well I don't personally belive in satan, because I'm sane.

I only wonder about Satan when I see Kenneth Copeland, and similar demons:
