While the Bee can sometimes trick liberal users into believing its headlines are true, supporters have argued its satire is too obvious to need pointing out. Recent examples include 'Gavin Newsom tries to woo Californians back by disguising state as Texas' and 'Study finds most Americans trust Dr. Pepper over Dr. Fauci.'

While the Times did update its story in light of the Babylon Bee's complaints, the Bee remains unsatisfied.

"The update is every bit as damaging (and false) as the original," Dillon said. He is particularly incensed about the claim that the Bee had feuded with fact-checking platform Snopes over whether or not it posted satire.

The Times' controversial coverage of the Bee is nothing new. A story published in October of last year asserted that the site "capitalizes on confusion" and has a "habit of skirting the line between misinformation and satire."

Minneapolis rioter FORGETS NAME of man on whose behalf he's rioting... Once reminded, he declares on camera, 'REMEMBER THAT NAME'

A Minneapolis protester attended a riot over a man being shot by police, but he couldn't remember the victim's name. Once reminded of the new martyr's identity, he went on camera to tell his interviewer, "Remember that name."

If the scene wasn't already dystopian enough, the suspected criminal who was fatally shot by police on Thursday was Winston Smith, which happens to be the same name as the protagonist in the George Orwell novel '1984'.

A video of the strange encounter during Thursday night's riot in Minneapolis began with the unidentified man saying from off camera, "Stay here, show, like, hold that space, obviously for, I'm not gonna lie, I forgot his name." Another voice, apparently belonging to a journalist with alternative media outlet Unicorn Riot, then said, "Winston Smith."

The man then thanked his interviewer and agreed to go on camera. "Just so you all know, the person that was shot up in there, his name is Winston Smith," he said. "Don't forget that name, Winston Smith. Say his name, and make sure y'all remember this s**t because we're going to fight for him just the same f**king way we fought for George Floyd."
