I always shake my head when a known satire site gets fact checked.

For God's sake, don't let any New York Times staffers ever get a glimpse of The Duffleblog!!

Not yet.

Love the Bee, but "a right-leaning site, sometimes trafficked in misinformation under the guise of satire" doesn't amount to defamation, by a long shot. I'd be a bit surprised if the NYTimes actually replies to it, because it'll just give the Bee some good ammo for the next edition....

NYT is likely just pissed because the Bee's 'satire' hits closer to the truth than some of the NYT's 'reporting'.

I love the "whether deserved or not..." bit. In this day and age, I lean toward "not."
