On March 23, 2021, the website Babylon Bee published an article positing that news media said of a suspect in a mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado that, in spite of being Arab, the shooter was morally white.: The story also contained an image that appeared to be a screenshot of a CNN broadcast, with the satirical headline included on the chyron. The image circulated widely on social media -- in several cases without any link back to its original context. This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows: Ten people were killed in a mass shooting at King Soopers grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, on March 22, 2021. The suspect in the shooting, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, was born in Syria. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
