Under Mounting Pressure From Snopes, Babylon Bee Writers Forced To Admit They Are Not Real Journalists

From The Babylon Bee, 19 August 2019.

Here is the lede plus two:

As Snopes turns up the heat on The Babylon Bee, its writers were finally forced to admit that they are not real journalists.

In a statement issued Monday, Babylon Bee's editorial team confessed they have been making up their stories this entire time.

"The headlines, the copy, the quotes---they're all fake," said the site's editor in chief, hanging his head in shame.  "It started a few years ago.  We made up a few stories about church culture, some about politics, some about everyday life, just for fun."  But the EIC said that things quickly got out of hand, as their completely made-up stories started going viral.

UPDATE:  (19 August 2019) This story just won't go away.
