Maybe? Not sure it matters either way? I think the conclusion in both ways is: satire confuses people and it'd be good to mark it.

- Natsu 5y agoThe Babylon Bee is like the Onion and is at least as well known. While I agree that there are people who take ridiculous stuff seriously, they're beyond what a fact checker--or anyone else--can help.
- chrisseaton 5y ago> they're beyond what a fact checker--or anyone else--can help I'd disagree. I think a literal huge 'satire' flag on the post would help.
- Natsu 5y agoIt'd help on your post, too, but ultimately we live in a world that contains vagueness. I feel more comfortable not marking a post about a giant washing machine being used to spin news with a blinking SATIRE sign than your post, though, because I can't take it seriously. That said, they clearly label the site as satire on the 'about' page if there was somehow any doubt that articles about spinning news in a washing machine were not serious.
