Don Surber: Babylon Bee stings NYT and Big Tech

"All went well with Snopes sniping the Bee and the Bee buzzing back. Several times, Snopes got Facebook to take down a Bee joke, only to have the Bee get Facebook to back down.

Then the New York Times entered the picture and tried to silence the Bee by labeling it a misinformation site. NYT's goal was to have social media cut off Babylon Bee.

The Bee fought back.

And stung.

Hard.

On June 14, Fox reported, "The New York Times issued a correction after initially claiming the satirical website The Babylon Bee trafficked in misinformation, and the liberal paper now admits the site simply publishes satire.

"Fox News first reported earlier this year that Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon was considering legal action after the Times labeled the popular site of peddling fake news under the guise of satire and referred to it as a misinformation site. 

"Dillon took to Twitter on Monday with an update after the Times emailed his attorney Friday that it would remove the offending language."

The correction said, "An earlier version of this article referred imprecisely to the Babylon Bee, a right-leaning satirical website, and a controversy regarding the handling of its content by Facebook and the fact-checking site Snopes. While both Facebook and Snopes previously have classified some Babylon Bee articles as misinformation, rather than satire, they have dropped those claims, and the Babylon Bee denies that it has trafficked in misinformation."

The campaign against Babylon Bee continues.".......

The Times, Snopes and Mailchimp all knew it was satire. They simply wished to censor it. The technical term is "Assholes".

btw, even that Times "correction" wasn't a true correction. They say they were "imprecise", not lying jerks. And they never admit the Bee is in fact satire, merely that others have dropped their claims.

That's why the Times are #ProfessionalLiars. They have thought of ten ways to lie to you before you've had your first cup of coffee.

Is Facebook Playing Satire Police to Target The Babylon Bee? – PJ Media

"Facebook pledged to implement “a new satire framework, which our teams will use for evaluating potential satire exceptions. Regional teams will be able to provide satire assessments.”"

"Satire frameworks?" "Satire exceptions"? Satire assessments"? How positively Nazi-esque. It recalls C.S. Lewis:

“I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of "Admin." The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid "dens of crime" that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern."--"The Screwtape Letters"

They don’t come any nastier--or creepier--than Facebook. These people are where humor goes to die. They are the Bergen-Belsen of burlesque. The Treblinka of travesty. The crematoriums of caricature. The harpoons of lampoon.

And now we find they were all chipping in to build Fauci's Super-Bug in China. No wonder they want everyone silenced.

I really can't even believe what I'm reading, it's so alien to the America we all grew up in. Everyone now says "Trump was right!" but Reagan was even righter: "Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction."

This IS that generation.

Zuckface is so clueless and so un-self-aware, he tried to buy "Another Brick in the Wall" from Rodger Waters, to use as a jingle for his Brick Factory-Empire. Waters told him to fuck off. 

Zuck IS the Wall and he doesn't know it. Allegedly. He must know. Small children, morons and farm animals know it.

Get this: Facebook is attacking the Bee for "punching down". You know--like a giant global mega-corporation attacking a tiny Christian humor website. Oligarch, please.

Mark Steyn: “I read The Joke, Milan Kundera’s first novel, when I was a schoolboy. Bit above my level, but, even as a teenager, I liked the premise. Ludvik is a young man in post-war, newly Communist Czechoslovakia. He’s a smart, witty guy, a loyal Party member with a great future ahead of him. His girlfriend, though, is a bit serious. So when she writes to him from her two-week Party training course enthusing about the early-morning calisthenics and the “healthy atmosphere,” he scribbles off a droll postcard:

Optimism is the opium of the people! A healthy atmosphere stinks of stupidity! Long live Trotsky! Ludvik.

A few weeks later, he’s called before a committee of the District Party Secretariat. He tries to explain he was making a joke. Immediately they remove him from his position at the Students Union; then they expel him from the Party, and the university; and shortly thereafter he’s sent to work in the mines. As a waggish adolescent, I liked the absurdity of the situation in which Ludvik finds himself. Later, I came to appreciate that Kundera had skewered the touchiness of totalitarianism, and the consequential loss of any sense of proportion. It was the book I read on the flight to Vancouver, when Maclean’s magazine and I were hauled before the British Columbia “Human Rights” Tribunal for the crime of “flagrant Islamophobia.” In the course of a week-long trial, the best part of a day was devoted to examining, with the aid of “expert witnesses,” the “tone” of my jokes.

Who would have thought all the old absurdist gags of Eastern Europe circa 1948 would transplant themselves to the heart of the West so effortlessly?

 It used to be the touchy totalitarians of Communism who demanded secret investigations for unsound jokes.”…….

 Still is. They’re just homegrown now.

"The great corporations which we have grown to speak of rather loosely as trusts are the creatures of the State, and the State not only has the right to control them, but it is duty bound to control them wherever the need of such control is shown."--Pres. Teddy Roosevelt, Trust-buster

If it was important to bust the monopoly on oil in the Industrial Age century ago--and it was--how much more important is is to break the Speech and Idea Monopolies of today in the Information Age?

These are the very lubricants of life and liberty.

If you have a better opinion, let's hear it. 

If you've got a better joke, tell it. 

If you've got a better idea, share it. 

Shutting down other people is an admission your own opinions are shameful, your jokes aren't funny and your ideas suck.

Let people talk. Let people live. Let people laugh, you twisted Nazi control freaks.

And if you fact-check a joke, you are one. Fascist.
