A Washington Post journalist pointed to the news organization's slogan on the wall, "Democracy Dies in Darkness." "Our democracy would die without our hard work slanting the news to a particular worldview without bothering to check if our facts are accurate. It says so right there on the wall."

Why pay good money to read the New York Times or the Washington Post when you can read the Babylon Bee for free and get satire that is closer to the truth?
