After investing hundreds of millions of dollars CNN finally unveiled its new satire site CNN+. Unfortunately, only 3 weeks later CNN+ has been canceled—prematurely ending what was certain to be one of the funniest sites ever made. This sort of cancel culture censorship has been targeting comedians for too long, and it must stop.
This is why The Babylon Bee has decided to formally take a stand beside our fellow satire site, CNN+. We too know exactly what it feels like to be suddenly canceled for the simple crime of bringing laughter to the world. When we heard CNN+ wasn’t being canceled for another sex scandal we were shocked, but once we heard that comedy was blatantly being censored again we were outraged.
“Satire writers have to stick together,” said The Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon. “That’s why we are calling for CNN+ to be reinstated immediately. We hereby announce that CNN+ has our full support and we are willing to do whatever is necessary to restore their comedy streaming service. It just goes to show—no matter how wacky and unbelievable your fake news articles are, there are always people who want to shut that down.”
Sources claim that only 10,000 people were willing to watch CNN+, but we believe those 10,000 deserve to be able to continue to laugh at CNN’s delightful brand of comedy.
So we invite you to stand with us and refuse to let comedy be silenced. If you ever want to see hilarious skits or articles about how good of a job Biden is doing, or how competent and relatable Kamala is—then subscribe to The Babylon Bee and help us fight for CNN+ today!
