Oh, man, we have a lot to get to today.

And we begin with the most glorious story of the day.

It is a glorious story because it just exposes everything that you need to know these days

about the nature of the mainstream media.

So first, a preface.

The mainstream media have been doing this routine where they act like Amelia Bedelia, where every time somebody on the right tells a joke, they take it extremely literally. So if you don't remember the Amelia Bedelia books from when you were a kid or from when your kids were kids, well, the Amelia Bedelia books, there was a series of books about a character named Amelia Bidelia, who was basically a maid, who took everything extremely literally and every idiom she would take extremely literally.

So, for example, there's a book called Merry Christmas Amelia Bidelia, and her boss told her to bake a date cake.

And so she literally went over to the calendar and she cut out a bunch of dates and then baked it into a cake.

Or she would have an instruction in one of her books and says, dust the furniture.

And so she would go and she would find dusting powder in the bathroom and then she would dust it all over the furniture. Or she is told to draw the drapes. So she sits down and she actually

draws drapes on a sketchpad.

That is Amelia Bidelia, where the media play this game lately, and it's an absurd, ridiculous, insane game,

where somebody on the right tells a joke, does a satire headline, and the media take it extremely seriously,

very, very seriously, because they are going to fact check and bring you the truth. Now, no matter that everybody knew it was a joke, no matter everybody in the world knew that it was a joke or that it was satire, instead, the media are going to treat this as though this must be fact-checked. So, you end up with absurdities like Snopes fact-checking the Babylon Bee, which is an out-and-out satire site, which claims to be a satirite. It's the equivalent of Snopes fact-checking the onion.
