PHILADELPHIA, PA — Americans across the country breathed a sigh of relief this morning following breaking news that Vice President Kamala Harris had survived an attempted interview.
For a seriously in-depth dive, Some More News has an episode called Why Is Conservative Comedy So… Not Very Good? The video even has a whole section about The Babylon Bee. The TL;DW is that real comedy is about the comedy, while conservative “comedy” is all about attacking out-groups. (There’s another section with examples of conservative comedians who don’t do this, and are funny.)
Like in this example, I read the headline, wrinkled my brow, and thought, “Huh?” Then a few seconds later, I remembered that there was some rumbling in the news a while back about how Harris hadn’t done a media interview at the time, and it must be referring to that? That makes sense as an attack, and I guess that’s “funny” to an audience that just wants to see attacks on the out-group, but it’s not humorous. (I mean, she’s done a couple of interviews now, so it comes across as try-hard.)
Boo. The babylon bee is MAGA pandering trying to pass as humor.
Okay and if it was a thinly veiled anti maga satire article people opposing it would be taking obvious jokes too seriously right?
It’s a satire community on the internet, everyone gets made fun at some point including the people you like

Kamala Harris is not really an out-group now, is she?
