On 30 May 2017 the web site Babylon Bee published an item reporting that California Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill into law that would require all Christians to register Bibles as assault weapons: The Babylon Bee is a self-described satire sight aimed at Christian readers. Its prominent footer declares: That disclaimer didn't stop a podcast from picking up the story and republishing it sans disclaimer on their web site. Although the Babylon Bee's satirical nature is no secret, this was not the first time that one of their stories was mistaken for real news. Claims that an imprisoned abortion provider Kermit Gosnell was a Democratic National Convention (DNC) speaker, that a church was using a baptismal waterslide, and that an evangelical pastor had apologized for using the name Jesus in a sermon confused some readers.
