Is Fake News a Choice, or Is Journalism Deader than RBG?

OMG!  I laughed at this three times.

First time - when I read the Babylon Bee.

Second time - when I read what USA Today's "Fact Check" article said.

Third time - when I saw that USA Today does this all the time, but mostly when the satire has to do with Trump.



Sigh: USA Today Fact Checkers vs. The Babylon Bee on RBG

Ninth Circuit Court Overturns Death Of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

— The Babylon Bee (@TheBabylonBee) September 27, 2020

Quote
In a landmark ruling, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
In a close decision, the judges on the court have ruled RBG's death unconstitutional and will block Trump from nominating a
replacement. Kim McLane Wardlaw, the judge who issued the ruling, said in a statement: "Justice Ginsburg's death was an affront
to the constitution as well as our God-given right to abort as many babies as possible and sell their body parts for research. Death,
at its core, is a construct designed to subvert the rule of law by taking pro-choice liberal judges away from us too soon. We cannot
allow Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death to stand. By law, she will now be considered to be still alive."

USA Today went through every "fact" and detail of the SATIRICAL article, debunking the story point by point.

The USA Today's author's conclusion?    Satire    :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Apparently, this is not the first of USA Today's journalists' attempts to make sure everyone knows when something the Babylon Bee posts is satire!   :wacko:

the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

No one ever accused liberals of having a sense of humor.   

They are very SERIOUS about eliminating all conservative thought and presence.  They must closely examine anything not according to the leftist/globalist narrative to spot dangerous information.

One of the reasons we keep our powder dry.
