I did see two objectionable articles. One about a 'car for woman that crashes' and one about the TGBL+ members of the Biden administration. This out of 10 or 20
Browsing their site I found an article that is making light of the suppression of women voters by using sexist tropes.
> Hundreds of thousands of women across America were left standing utterly clueless as to what to do at a voting booth after their husbands failed to tell them who to vote for.
> Voting at several polling stations ground to a halt after all of the booths became occupied by bewildered women. "This is a disaster," said poll worker John Bingham. "We've had thirty women taking up every booth for the past three hours, just staring like deer in headlights. We offered to bring them lunch while they made their choice, but they couldn't decide on a restaurant."
> At publishing time, voting stations had been forced to designate one voting booth for men only to allow voting to continue.
Given the history of women's right to vote, current laws causing women to needlessly die, and that many women today are undoubtedly being coerced by spouses to vote a certain way, calling this simply tone deaf would be extremely charitable. It is only truly funny if you have "women, am I right" as one of your shibboleths. Without that, it is clear misogyny.
All this to say I don't think a site promoting sexist views is a good alternative for a site that has made a master-class punchline out of trying to take a terrorist bigot off the air.
JD Vance has proposed that people with children should get more voting power. That sort of pressure would disenfranchise women who elect to not have children, or unduly pressure women to have children.
Vance’s backer, Peter Thiel, has also previously implied that women being able to vote has weakened democracy.
The Babylon Bee has gotten better, but it's still pretty amateurish compared to the best of The Onion. It's nice to have a satirical publication that leans the other way for balance.
Honest question: how so? The Onion has always billed itself as a "news" source, and parodied both form and content of traditional newspapers and TV news. The Babylon Bee seems to just put out jokes, without much of a unifying thematic framework.
The Babylon Bee occasionally takes a good swipe at liberals and democrats.
The Onion will go down in history as one of the most influential satire projects of all time, and is filled with genuinely talented writers and comedians. Even their early Youtube work was prescient and brilliant.
i disagree, they try to be a more right-wing version of the onion but they lack the surrealism of the onion.
comparing both instagram pages, BB posts mostly political content and they're all critical of democrats/liberals. the onion's page has much more variety
