America’s newspaper of record, the Babylon Bee, covered the Virginia Gun Rights rally today.  In the Bee’s special way, they reported not on the peaceful crowds of supremely polite people.  Instead, they reported on the mainstream media’s disappointment over a lack of violence and bloodshed at the event.

Yes, so much for the mass media’s fake-news narrative that American gun owners bringing guns to a rally couldn’t possibly happen without bloodshed and mayhem.

Directly from the Babylon Bee’s pages:

Media Offers Thoughts And Prayers That Someone Would Start Some Violence At Gun Rights Rally

U.S.—Somber members of the press offered their thoughts and prayers that someone would start some violence at the gun rights rally in Virginia today.

Reporters expressed their grief and condolences as the violence they hyped has so far failed to materialize.

“Nobody has so much as fired a shot. This is an unbelievable tragedy,” said one teary-eyed MSNBC reporter, clearly caught up in the anguish of the moment. “It’s tragic that we live in a country where reporters who are just minding their own business trying to push a narrative can have everything ripped away from them in an instant when protesters refuse to shoot at people.”

A CBS News reporter called for a moment of silence live on the air. “Let’s all take a minute and cry out to a non-specific deity of our choice that any second now, a miraculous shooting would occur.” When it did not occur, she began weeping and gnashing her teeth before ripping her suit jacket in despair. “WHY, GOD, WHY!?!”

As most savvy Americans realize, the Babylon Bee produces news satire.  But in today’s topsy-turvy world, their headlines can often get confused with the truth.

Like their recent headline following the American mission that took out Iranian terrorist General Soleimani:

Democrats Call For Flags To Be Flown At Half-Mast To Grieve Death Of Soleimani

WASHINGTON, D.C.—At a press conference held on Capitol Hill Friday, mourning Democrat leaders called for flags to be flown half-mast to honor the death of Qasem Soleimani.

Flags were spotted flying at half-mast around the country, notably at The Washington Post, The New York Times, and in front of several celebrities’ homes. The celebrities went out and bought an American flag for the first time just to fly it at half-mast for this important time of grief.

That story had as much or more social media engagement than real “top stories” from the NY Times and CNN, according to one CNN reporter.  And that didn’t sit well with him.

Obviously CNN’s Donie underestimates the intelligence of the average American.  Or perhaps he overestimates his own intelligence.

Furthermore, it is obvious that he has no sense of humor.  Because frankly, it’s hard not to laugh at the Bee’s headlines.

Meanwhile, today’s very successful rally in Virginia did go off peacefully, with tens of thousands of American patriots clogging the streets in downtown Richmond to let the Old Dominion State pols know that gun owners that they aren’t surrendering their rights or their guns to would-be tyrants.

  1. Im certain there are news sources that are crying because they can’t up their ratings with the blood of 2A advocates this week.

    Also would like to point out the Gun Range owner from NY with the Barrett getting so much publicity for his “sniper rifle”.

    • Jeff the Griz, not to fear, if the MSM cannot find a way then they will invent one to trash the event. They will not report the truth no matter what……

    • He’s going to sign whatever legislation the democrats send him. The real question is what Virginians are going to do about it once it happens, and I have a suspicion very few of them are going to obey.

      • He’ll sign anything Bloomberg tells him too. It must be a very lucrative post-term consultancy on offer from the primary donor.

      • “The real question is what Virginians are going to do about it once it happens, and I have a suspicion very few of them are going to obey.”

        That is what they want. Their goal is for you to not follow those laws.

        Why? If by chance they can bust you on something unrelated, no matter how minor, they can then throw the book at you and very publicly make an example out of you.

        They are in this for the long game. If they are forced by the SCOTUS to recognize gun rights, they will expend every effort to expand what will be considered a prohibited person who can never again legally have gun rights. That is why they are evil and must be stopped…

        • Yup, they are just waiting for all of the 2A supporters to slip up and get a felony conviction. This is why it ever more so important to stay on the “right” side of the law no matter how wrong the law. Not only do they make 2A supporters lose their 2A rights faster than the VA legislature can legislate them away, but they will keep those 2A supporters convicted from voting (fastest way to nullify a bunch of 2A supporting voters); “Felony disenfranchisement in Virginia,” anyone?

  2. The Babylon Bee is so effective, they managed to get CNN angry and willing to go to court over the fake news they publish. Think about that for a moment.

    It’s fantastic.

  3. Babylon Bee is SOOOOO much than crap like the Onion(is that a thing anymore?) Tucka’! had the BB owner on the other night. Leftard’s think they’re funny-they ain’t😆

  4. The Babylon bee has their work cut out for them, it is difficult to get far enough out there with the Socialist bunch, since they keep demanding more and more outrageous things.

  5. “A lot of people sharing this “satirical” story on Facebook don’t know it is satire.”

    Let me guess, these are the same people you think are too dumb to get a government issued ID. What would they do without a savior like you?

  6. “I want to thank all of our brave Police officers who kept us all safe from the crazed gun owners who invaded the Capital today. The massive presence of the Police Sta, err State Police, obviously deterred them from burning the Capital buildings to the ground and inflicting untold harm on the good and obedient subj, err peaceful citizens , of my administration.”

    King Ralph of Virginia.

  7. yes that’s correct. Thank you Governer Blackface for all you concerns and insuring there was enough police and security officers on site to keep all 2nd amendment supports in check. We Thank you for our safety!

  8. I’m sure the left doesn’t like the Babylon Bee. They have proven that they have no sense of humor. They only laugh when a good person is hurt or humiliated.

  9. NPR did seem genuinely saddened that nothing happened in Richmond today. They had a sound bite from someone who was afraid to go to work there today and someone who said they would normally have been there to attend “Lobby Day” but stayed away due to a perceived threat of violence. NPR did not report on anything benign as people being selfless and performing service work on this day which is normally reserved for such things but hey, there’s no ratings in that.

  10. Anti-American scum!!! About the Rally and the Persian terrorist both. In the land of Xerxes and Darius and other Shahanhashs. Who would make Palovi look like a Sunday School teacher.
