> So, like in the realm of something that doesn't happen but we're going to say it totally happens because of... reasons. Kind of like how schools don't actually give students detention for missing class during shootings, but the onion said it total happens because of... It's the same thing. The Onion does it much better, but it's still satire. I wouldn't fault someone for enjoying the Onion but not being a fan of the Babylon Bee though. In addition to having worse writers the Bee is also limited to pandering to the worldview of their target audience which doesn't always have a solid basis in reality. It's easy for their jokes to fall completely flat when they're a scathing critique of something imaginary, but if you were a believer in the fantasy you'd probably feel the Bee was much more entertaining. That said, the Bee does manage to land some solid hits at times and I suspect the cognitive dissonance that can cause may make some people uncomfortable which could also sour their enjoyment a bit.
