CNN: 'Trump Voter Shoots Mentally Ill Man In Church'

[Babylon Bee] ATLANTA, GA‐Churchgoer Jack Wilson shot and killed a mass shooter at West Freeway Church of Christ, preventing what could have been a much worse shooting.

But CNN reported on the event with the headline and caption "Trump voter shot a mentally ill man in a Texas church," causing some to question whether CNN might be a biased source of news.

"Once again we see that Trump voters are hopelessly wicked," said one somber anchor as footage came in of a shooting in a Texas church. "There is nothing they won't do to attack the oppressed, mentally ill community. All this man wanted to do was express his true identity and live out who he really is, and he was stopped by yet another psychotic Trump voter."

CNN hosts called for Texas to designate their churches "gun-free zones," so that the mentally ill can do whatever they please without being stopped by deranged conservatives.

#1 Actually correctly called 'Bee' on this one.

3 out of 10 this week isn't too bad I guess.

#2 I thought the Bee on this one. However, it would be easy to believe that CNN reported this.

#3 Does anyone remember the days before the Bee. When comedy was dead. I hope they are raking in Ad dollars or whatever they do to get money.

#4 It is so close to true I was believing it. But alas the Bee stung me again.

#5 Got me, too. I have noticed a trend to include the perpetrator as part of the total victim count of KIA's ... as if the killer's weapon was the sole cause of the slaughter and all the killed were innocent bystanders.
