The Babylon Bee is an Evangelical Christian satirical internet news site.

It models itself after the secular satire news publication The Onion but focuses on fake stories involving well-known Christian personalities as well as other conservatives, along with articles satirizing current Christian trends as well as liberal hypocrisy.

In at least one instance an article in the Bee was reported as legitimate news by the mainstream media; eventually, liberal fact-check website Snopes.com had to confirm the article was fake.[1] In some cases, Snopes treated the Bee as a non-satirical news source.[2][3][4]
