Is The Babylon Bee left or right?
The Babylon Bee is a Christian conservative news-satire site, founded by Adam Ford in 2016 and run since 2018 by CEO Seth Dillon, that self-describes as a source of "Christian news satire" covering religion, politics, and everyday life from a right-leaning, evangelical perspective. Its most frequent satirical targets are progressive politics, mainstream media, and secular culture, and it is embedded in conservative-movement institutions: the Heritage Foundation awarded Dillon its 2025 Salvatori Prize for American Citizenship, and Dillon speaks through Young America's Foundation. The outlet is also a prominent free-speech litigant on the right — after earlier content-moderation clashes with major platforms, including a 2022 suspension from Twitter over a satirical post, it sued Hawaii in 2025 over an election-speech law and won a court ruling against the state in January 2026. Its positioning has been consistently conservative and Christian since its founding.
