The Babylon Bee satire site sent this out in an e-mail blast:
In a just-published article about Facebook's difficulty in dealing with satire, The New York Times points to The Babylon Bee as an example of a "far-right misinformation site" that "sometimes trafficked in misinformation under the guise of satire."
