Reuters have fact checked Babylon Bee articles before no idea why but there you go.
However posters on this site have been taken in by Babylon Bee before, reinforces what I believe is that a lot of people just read a headline, no thought to the site that posted it nor the content.
Good satire is difficult to pull off. Babylon Bee makes good satirical headlines but the article that follows the headline tends to be poor and unfunny.
Some of best satirical fake newspaper articles have been created by the British adult comic Viz. They make me LOL for real. Very absurd, very unpolitically correct. Sort of like a South Park humor.
People who work for Reuters are not stupid. They understand what satire is, but they are still engaged on their obsessive quest to label everything that they dislike as “misinformation,” betraying the fact that they are censorious partisan activists.
