Very sound logic (/s)! With this sort of reasoning people invaded the Capitol on January 6th, because they were certain their country was about to be taken over by a Chinese-backed coup. Guess what, they also think what they heard was legitimate, and they think their reasoning work(ed) perfectly fine.

Everything in Babylon Bee is 100% satire and fake. It's used as a fake news source by people wanting to spread misinformation.

But the running joke is that it often turns out becoming true. That's why they spun off NotTheBee to do real news. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/alcoholic-liver-deaths-in...

I'm always amazed when people try and use The Bee as a legit source of misinformation. They make no bones that they're a satire site.

Folks gotta be pretty gullible to not see that.
