How the NY Times Framed Babylon Bee Satire as Misinformation | Seth Dillon | POLITICS | Rubin Report

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Seth Dillon at The National Conservatism Conference in Orlando, Florida about running The Babylon Bee and the importance of satire in this era of extreme wokeness and social justice. Seth describes how the Babylon Bee’s brand of conservative comedy has also been a predictor of real world events on numerous occasions. Seth also reveals how the New York Times had knowingly misrepresented their site as a “far-right misinformation site” that “trafficked in misinformation.” instead of political comedy and how they had to use the threat of lawsuits to get them to issue a correction. Seth also tells fans what they can expect from their first book “The Babylon Bee Guide to Wokeness”.
