I bet the record is shorter than that in reality.
I bet if we were to ask The Bee Editor "Did you ever have to stop a story because it became reality before you posted it" the answer would be yes.

If these mofos were around when this clip happened:
they'd probably start building bunkers and hiding in there until they die.
I can only imagine that the writer had a deadline to get an article out and (somehow) couldn't find any articles from any actual news sources to debunk (um, how about pretty much every article about the Kenosha incident?), so they swallowed their pride and plucked the low-hanging fruit.
Or maybe they have no pride in the first place. I guess that's possible too.
You joking? If not post the story.
Why are they fact-checking satire??? What kind of fucking retard would believe this was real???
Misread the tiny print, it was 15 minutes.

I know! As of summer the 9th Circuit is conservative majority! They'd never pull something like this now.

Ones with a job writing fact checking articles unfortunately. I think it started last year with Snopes "fact checking" some Babylon Bee articles shared on Facebook and rating them false/fake/fake news or whatever. The Bee took offense at that seeing as that risked their stuff getting banned from Facebook which would hurt their revenue, so they disputed it mostly successfully. Snopes got pissy at being called out, and effectively doubled down by creating a rating category of "labeled satire" for stuff like the Bee and similar sites published that it didn't like. The idea of "fact checking" obvious satire articles to declare them satire appears to have spread since then. Though I'm not sure if it's fact checkers looking for an easy article to write, or if it's fact checkers thinking people are that dumb.
I remember that but god damn, it's so fucking stupid, you could just retract the rating and admit you fucked up.

If they did that, some people (probably a statistically irrelevant portion of their readers) would start asking themselves what other bullshit they lied about/got wrong/etc. and it would cause a loss in traffic.

I recall someone saying something about news, and how when you specialize in something, you read an article in the news and go "This is complete nonsense, it's all wrong, and disgustingly so" but then when you're done with that article you move on to the rest that you're not an expert in and for some reason forget about how that first article was wrong and assume the rest is completely accurate. A retraction has that effect on readers. They go "Oh, that was wrong, huh? Wild" and then move on to the next article as if the news has never been and is never wrong, and the same with Snopes. They've been caught being wrong before, but somehow people just move on to the next 'fact check' and forget that Snopes has ever been wrong.
Snopes just doesn't correct itself - like newspapers are loathe to retract except in tiny back pages to avoid liability - because they want to control the narrative as much as possible, and that includes lying and manipulating the truth.

I think that's the whole reason why Snopes & WapPo keep "fact-checking" satire that mocks wokeness.
They don't care that it makes them look ridiculous to readers, because their purpose is no longer to cater to readers - it's to game the Social Media algorithms.
They're fully aware of the power to censor that they've been given by Facebook, and are exploiting it as much as they can in the service of the Woke Religion.
Some people, especially the Facebook boomers tend to mistake satire for real news.
The Babylon Bee is like the Fox News of satirical news. Once again, some conservative Internet boomers take them literally.
Well I, for one, am shocked. SHOCKED, I SAY!
