American sarcasm Babylon Bee had to explain itself after publishing a cartoon "news" about the United States' Joe Biden's intention to give Alaska to Russia.
"Biden has once again shown his determination to take the first step towards increasing oil production for Americans by selling Alaska back to Russia, so we can start drilling there again in search of oil," Babylon Bee wrote. However, as Fox News reporter Lindsey Kornick reported, the note was posted by representatives of the Liberal Party on their social networks, and its link has been shared more than two thousand times.
Due to its high popularity, this article from the portal ** does not hide the fact that all the material in it is completely entertaining, studied in the fact-checking department of the national newspaper USA Today.
Based on our analysis, we assess the statement that Biden will sell Alaska to Russia as sarcasm. This statement stems from an article published by the satirical Babylon bee. There is no evidence that Biden plans to ** Alaska," wrote USA Today fact-checker Anna Faggie.
The ** is often the target of mainstream ** attacks such as the New York Times and CNN because it spreads "disinformation", even though it advertises itself as a pure satire**.
Noticing the growing interest in their publications, the authors of the portal** responded to USA Today's verdict.
We would like to thank the fact-checkers at USA Today for pointing out the irony of the article. We wanted to delete it because we now realize that it wasn't real and was completely made up. We do our best to only publish completely authentic headlines, but sometimes we get it wrong. We will try to do better," the publication tweeted.
