Wikipedia Editors Want To Label Babylon Bee ‘Right Wing Disinfo’
Newsbusters | 02/18/2021 | Corinne Weaver
Satire is not meant to be taken seriously. Yet Big Tech and its tools find a way to label any humor coming from the right as disinformation or fake news.The Babylon Bee has been repeatedly victimized by this tug of war. In a public history page known as a “Talk” page on Wikipedia, editors with anonymous tags or usernames discussed whether or not the conservative satire site could “legally be considered ‘satire’?” The alleged Twitter account for Bee managing editor Joel Berry tweeted a thread about this Wikipedia incident on Feb. 18.
“There has been an ongoing effort to classify The Babylon Bee as ‘disinformation’ rather than satire,” reportedly said Berry. “They desperately want The Babylon Bee to be censored. I wonder why… .”
In the conversation referenced by Berry, an anonymous Wikipedia editor wrote, “I’ve read many Bee articles and they largely seem constitutionally unable to craft anything even resembling a joke or satirical barb.” The editor’s sentiment seems to go against Wikipedia’s discussion of objectivity when it comes to editing or submitting posts. “Assert facts, not opinions,” says the page on neutral points of view.
“Wikipedia no longer has an effective neutrality policy,” wrote former Wikipedia founder Larry Sanger in his personal blog.

HOUSTON, TX—Senator Ted Cruz found himself in some hot water this week after he traveled to Cancun in the middle of a Texas cold snap that left many without power. The media was hammering him relentlessly for the bad optics of flying out on vacation while his state suffered.
But Cruz was one step ahead of the purported scandal, landing back in the Houston airport while wearing an Andrew Cuomo mask. As soon as the media saw him, they were all of them deceived, and immediately started apologizing for ever criticizing his trip in the first place.
“Greetings, journalists, I’m Governor Andrew Cuomo, and I’m here to, uh, kill some senior citizens!” he said in his best New York-Italian accent. “Just gonna head off to some senior homes and make sure everyone there gets infected and dies. Pay me no heed!”
“Mamma mia!” he added as reporters rushed to kiss his shoes.
The media immediately stopped covering his trip and started writing glowing op-eds about how smart it was of him to leave Texas in the cold. “Really, could he do anything braver than travel to Cancun? It was a powerful reminder to all of us that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Besides, he’s worked so hard. He deserves a rest.”
He was then given an Emmy.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—In spite of Democrats’ best efforts to curb the use of fossil fuels, stubborn Americans continue to use them to power their automobiles and heat their homes. Biden is responding to this crisis with an ambitious new plan to raise the price of gas to $100 per gallon by the end of his first 100 days in office.
“Listen– all these fossil fuels, they gotta stop! Gotta stop!” Biden said to the Secret Service agent pumping gas into his presidential limo. “We gotta do something about these selfish Americans and one-horse kangaroo herders burning all these fuels without consequences. I know consequences. Just ask Corn Pop and his buddies. When I’m done with ’em, these Americans will never burn a gallon of gas again, Jack!”
The administration has announced the “Gas Prices To The Mooooon” campaign– a series of executive orders designed to drive the price of fuel up to make it unattainable to anyone except John Kerry.
When confronted with the question of how Americans will afford to get around with $100-per-gallon gas, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested they stay home and eat some ice cream instead.
Currently, the average price stands at $2.53 per gallon and rising, which experts say is likely Trump’s fault.
An anonymous Wikipedia editor wrote, “I’ve read many Bee articles and they largely seem constitutionally unable to craft anything even resembling a joke or satirical barb.” Obviously the moron that wrote the above never read either of these two pieces from the Bee.
If you make fun of the wrong people you ain’t funny mister!
