Are you suggesting that when something that is false is being circulated as true, fact checkers should ignore it if it originated on a satire site?
> It's amazing how many people think that the Babylon Bee isn't satire, while there's little confusion over the Onion.
I think there are a few things that contribute to this.
1. The way sharing works on many social media sites is that when you share a link to a story at some other site the social media site embeds the story in your post. It links back to the original site, but many people who see your post will just read the embedded story rather than click to go read it on the original site. They see the satirical article by itself rather than in the context of a whole site full of satirical articles, making it easier to not realize it is satire.
2. The Onion is more well known.
3. Due to things like Q, the Bee's satire is making claims that are often less wild than things that people already believe, reducing the chances that they will realize it is satire.
