b"Last month, Snopes fact-checked an article from the satire site The Babylon Bee. On its website, Snopes explained its rationale:The Babylon Bee has managed to confuse readers with its brand of satire in the past. This particular story was especially puzzling for some readers, however, as it closely mirrored the events of a genuine news story, with the big exception of the website\\u2019s changing the location. We found dozens of instances of social media users who were puzzled by this article.Meanwhile,\\xa0The Bee\\u2019s CEO told Fox News that Snopes running its fact-check could end up deeming the website as \\u201cfake news\\u201d and make it harder to share its stories on social media sites.\\nThe Bee may be the first Christian satirical piece that Snopes has examined, but it\\u2019s hardly the first satirical site that organization has fact-checked. That\\u2019s partially because humorous fake news can get anyone, says Bob Darden, the former editor of the late Christian satire magazine, The Wittenburg Door.\\u201c\\nOn the cover, we had a statement that said, \\u2018The world's pretty much only religious humor and satire magazine,\\u2019\\u201d said Darden, explaining The Door\\u2019s method for trying to prevent people from taking its articles too seriously. \\u201cThat was our tip to anyone who read The Door. When articles or things got picked up by various outlets, we always insisted that we had that little tagline.\\u201d\\nDarden joined digital media producer Morgan Lee and editorial director Ted Olsen to discuss what makes satire Christian, how politics changes humor, and why the best parodies make it clear that the subjects are also things the writer loves.\\nWhat is \\u201c Quick to Listen\\u201d?
