Snopes is on a mission to destroy the Babylon Bee for peddling “fake news,” but it seems pretty clear these days that satire is a lot closer to the truth than Real News, Mr. President.
This … is CNN:
Have you ever noticed the popularity of white robots? The reason for these shades of technological white may be racism, according to new research. https://t.co/PHJHO91VtA

Keep in mind that someone actually thought this was a technology angle worth covering.
I'm consistently amazed that a group of people sit in a room, look at subjects and articles like these, and go "yeah, we should publish this. It's hard-hitting stuff." https://t.co/wVjrt2vyNR

The funny thing is, it took two idiots to write this article!

Maybe they should’ve let a robot write it instead.

This is likely the dumbest thing I will read all day. Did they actually pay the author for this or was it a free submission by a high school kid?

Have you ever noticed CNN is flaming garbage?

There’s a reason you are loathed.

Fact check: There are actually multiple reasons. But this is definitely one of them.
