The Babylon Bee also makes articles under the guise of satire in an attempt to take advantage of this very fact. They're basically a misinformation source that calls themselves satire because they know their base will take them seriously, but they can deny it. They're basically Fox News calling themselves the onion.

Yep, they are not satire at all, recently a video from them popped up in my feed, that's about gender reassignment surgery, there was nothing satirical or funny about it

Entertainment. They said they can't be sued because no one would take them seriously because they aren't news, they are "entertainment." They won.

That was fucking ridiculous. As if there's not ample evidence that millions of people take Fox News seriously.
