About The Babylon Bee
The Babylon Bee is an American Christian satire site founded in 2016 by Adam Ford. It rose to prominence with sharply political content that often crosses into mainstream news cycle commentary. Editorial direction is explicitly conservative and Christian — a deliberate counterweight to what it sees as the predominantly left-coded humor establishment.
