Liberal group reveals private info of conservative writers

Listen To Story Above

The Southern Poverty Law Center recently targeted writers of Not the Bee, a non-satirical division of the conservative Christian satire website The Babylon Bee, by exposing their personal information.

Seth Dillon, CEO of The Babylon Bee, revealed that an SPLC journalist uncovered and contacted anonymous Not the Bee writers directly. The organization disclosed writers’ names, locations, and family connections, as detailed in a November 20 article by Not the Bee.

“We’re determining how they obtained this information, but we already know why they went digging for it. They did it because they’re left-wing activists masquerading as journalists. They did it because they lack principles,” Dillon wrote.

🚨THE LEFT'S ENFORCER:

The Southern Poverty Law Center has taken aim at Not the Bee, the real-news partner of The Babylon Bee. The SPLC is threatening to doxx the people who write for Not the Bee, to reveal their identities to expose them to ridicule and ostracization.

“They did it because they’re vindictive bullies who’ve admitted their aim is to ‘completely destroy’ individuals and organizations they disagree with by making them pay a steep price for speaking freely.

“As a public figure, I’ve been attacked many times. It comes with the territory, and I accept that. What I won’t accept is the doxxing and smearing of our staff because they said some things the SPLC doesn’t like.”

The SPLC defended its actions in a statement to USA Today, saying: “The SPLC is committed to transparency and is dedicated to protecting the safety of trans and genderqueer individuals when they are publicly attacked. Hateful content like the material created by Not the Bee writers works to dehumanize transgender individuals, the entire LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities, and people of color. This divisive commentary has no place in our society.”

Not the Bee challenged this stance, noting that most Americans support border law enforcement, removing gender-related religious material from schools, and restricting child sterilization procedures, questioning whether the SPLC believes these majority views have “no place in our society.”
