[Episode 171] Daily #Covfefe: The Babylon Bee Exposes Snopes as a Trojan Horse

July 30, 2019 Keri and Carter discuss the persistent push by activists at Snopes to silence the satirical website The Babylon Bee. Trusted by Facebook and posing as an unbiased "fact-checking" site, Snopes conveniently ignores blatant lies pushed by leftist and attacks "wrongthink" comedy as "fake news." Here's a link to our "You Tube, I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down" video mentioned in today's show: https://youtu.be/GtvLVzzLDyA And here are three examples of Snopes courageously "debunking" obvious satire in an effort to push its own ideological agenda: 1. Babylon Bee article about state rep Erica Thomas: https://babylonbee.com/news/georgia-lawmaker-claims-chick-fil-a-employee-told-her-to-go-back-to-where-she-came-from-later-clarifies-he-actually-just-said-my-pleasure Snopes: FALSE! https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/georgia-lawmaker-go-back-claim/ 2. Babylon Bee article about Ocasio-Cortez on "Price is Right" https://babylonbee.com/news/ocasio-cortez-appears-on-price-is-right-guesses-everything-is-free Snopes: FALSE! https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ocasio-cortez-price-is-right/ 3. Babylon Bee article about CNN's washing machines https://babylonbee.com/news/cnn-purchases-industrial-sized-washing-machine-spin-news-publication/ Snopes: FALSE! https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cnn-washing-machine/ Finally, welcome new viewers!
