I think the Babylon Bee is rapidly becoming the online news site of record

"Portland Police: 'We Wish There Were Some Kind Of Organized, Armed Force That Could Fight Back Against Antifa'".

This bee must pack a powerful sting, since it has been targeted by the so-called "fact-checking" operation, Snopes for deplatforming.

Update
Via friend and commenter Jeff S., here's an article that delves into some of Snopes' sordid history.

Who the hell is 'Snopes'? What authority do they have?

Has anyone asked that?

What authority do they have? The authority of the "Twitter mob".

That, and the internet bosses who fear/support the Twitter mob is all it takes to be shut down, these days.

Snopes is trying to argue from their (non-existent) moral authority as the arbiter of all things true or false on the INTERNET.

Fat chance on that happening, except with sheeple.
