This text, which comprises about 50% of the Snopes article:
> Although it should have been obvious that the Babylon Bee piece was just a spoof of the ongoing political brouhaha over alleged news media “bias” and “fake news,” some readers missed that aspect of the article and interpreted it literally. But the site’s footer gives away the Babylon Bee’s nature by describing it as “Your Trusted Source For Christian News Satire,” and the site has been responsible for a number of other (usually religious-themed) spoofs that have been mistaken for real news articles.
So, looking at your complaints again:
- The article _is_ false, it's just also satire, as Snopes points out.
- That is a claim. See above.
- Instructing FB on the truthfulness of media _was literally their job_.
- What are you talking about.
- Yes, they checked facts in this case.
