The Babylon Bee initially started out as something of an equal opportunity offender, but over the past four years the Babylon Bee has evolved into a more explicitly anti-left, pro-Trump publication. (Outraged conservatives launched a #FreeTheBee campaign, prompting Twitter to reverse its decision and issue an apology.) Is Babylon Bee Pro-Trump?
Facebook has erroneously flagged it as misinformation thanks to the fact-checking website Snopes, and Twitter temporarily suspended and demonetized the Babylon Bee’s account for violating rules about platform manipulation and spam.
Ford eventually sold the site to a Christian entrepreneur named Seth Dillon in 2018, citing in part his discomfort with “Facebook and Google a practical duopoly on information.” Indeed, although the Babylon Bee is explicit about its satirical bent, describing itself as “the world’s best satire site, totally inerrant in all its truth claims,” it has had a complicated relationship with the platforms.
