Yeah, it’s generally the Conservative version of the Onion, though honestly, nowadays I’d say their writing can be stronger than the Onion.

Isn’t Babylon Bee like The Onion?

Unfortunately for the Onion, reality has been more outlandish than their satire in recent years.
MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 4 months ago
Yeah, though the Bee seems to be having a blast with it.
Today’s articles that got a legit chuckle: “New York offers to house Hantavirus patients in nursing homes”, “three Republicans thrown into fiery furnace for not bowing down to trump statue” and “Democrats prepare petard to destroy trump and Republicans; UPDATE: they themselves have been hoisted by said petard.”
I dunno, I disagree with a lot of their positions but I think very little of people who only read that with which they entirely agree. And I respect good comedy.

I think they don’t quite have the subtlety I like though. The petard one is a good example. Imagine if they had just left the title without the fake update.

Let me know when the Babylon Bee acquires InfoWars AND Tim Heidecker in the same week.

It’s like if The Onion was right wing

The onion if every punchline was racism (or transphobia)

Right-wing humor = hate speech.

Not sure if sarcasm or user doesn’t understand humor is bipartisan.

It’s like if the Onion wasn’t funny.
