Satirical news site the Babylon Bee took aim at media fact-checking and coverage of Joe Biden, running a mocking article in which the claim that 2+2=5, ostensibly uttered by the 2020 Democratic front-runner, was rated as “mostly true.”
The trigger for the satire was a Snopes fact check in which the site stated that Biden’s recounting of a tale about a U.S. military service member who recovered the body of a fallen soldier was “not false,” even though major details, including the location, the date, the branch of the military, the medal, and Biden’s own role, were wrong.
