    | You failed to mention that the Babylon Bee is a satirical website. The
    | website itself has a disclaimer that notifies readers of this, but in quoting | an article without the disclaimer, you are presenting false information in
    | such a way as to lead someone unfamiliar with the Babylon Bee to think it
    | might be true.

    | That's misinformation.

    Careful. One of your fellow liberals here believes that the only people
    who mistake the Babylon Bee as real news are conservatives. You don't want
    to get labeled as one of those folks that doesn't know the difference.

    It's definitely been known to happen that people mistake satire for real news.
