That's funny though I will say, the Bee makes some pretty in the weeds jokes, way more so than the Onion. If you keep up with politics and shit happening on twitter it's hilarious, if you're not then it's hard to understand that joke. EDIT: That joke in question is about the new Italian PM. What they are satirizing is in her acceptance speech she talked about "family, god and country" and the left immediately called her fascist for it.

Or maybe calling her a fascist is the result of her rhetoric against LGBT folks and immigrants while leading a political party (The Brothers of Italy) with fascist roots and her comments praising fascists.

> What they are satirizing is in her acceptance speech she talked about "family, god and country" and the left immediately called her fascist for it See, I don't think that's a thing that happened. And if you satirise something that never happened, but your audience all think happened, because someone on Twitter told them it happened then you're in a weird area. And I can see how that could happen in other online cliques too. I think if it happened in a clique I was in and cared about, I'd call it out, not celebrate it. But that assumes you know it didn't happen, and that you care. So fundamentally it's not the satire that's the problem, it's groups of people believing stuff that isn't true.

That's not why they called her a fascist.
