Mailchimp Suspends The Babylon Bee For Violating Terms Of Service

To understand how the New York Times and other leading media and tech institutions view the Babylon Bee, imagine that when Stephen Colbert was still doing The Colbert Report, conservatives thought that they were actually listening to a right-wing populist Bill O’Reilly type, instead of a satirist who was mocking everything O’Reilly stood for.

Everything the Bee publishes is a joke. You don’t have to find it funny, and you probably won’t if you don’t agree with the underlying premises of its joke. And that’s fine. Those premises are right-of-center. Apart from Greg Gutfeld, the Bee might be the most visible and successful purveyor of right-leaning comedy in the country.
