ITEM 17: Fox News reported, "A CNN reporter sounded the alarm on Sunday over the popularity of a piece published by a conservative satirical site.

"Last week, The Babylon Bee drew some laughs with an article poking fun at the Democrats' reaction to the U.S. airstrike that led to the death of Irani Gen. Qassem Soleimani, using the headline 'Democrats Call For Flags To Be Flown At Half-Mast to Grieve Death of Soleimani.'

"Responding to a Twitter user who expressed concern that 'Republican friends' on Facebook 'are circulating it like it's legit,' CNN reporter Donie O'Sullivan pointed out that The Babylon Bee was getting more traffic on that one article than his network and The New York Times get weekly.

"'To put this in perspective, this is the same number of engagements the top NY Times and CNN stories on Facebook had over the past week,' O'Sullivan wrote. 'A lot of people sharing this 'satirical' story on Facebook don't know it is satire.'"

In October, I explained, "Why Babylon Bee is the most important conservative site."

It makes us laugh.

And the Burgermeister Meisterburgers on the left hate laughter because all humor ultimately is subversive.

Who would have thought 10 years ago that a Christian satire site would be more popular than CNN and the New York Times combined?
