Babylon Bee is also well known to be satire. I would also say it doesn't have an "extreme" bias. It's about as far right of center as the Onion is far left, which is to say some, but not particularly extreme.

The entire subreddit r/atetheonion is dedicated to people believing Onion articles. Bablylon Bee is not unique in this regard.
I think this is the bias people are generally referring to here. The Babylon Bee isn't extreme in its partisan leaning, and is a popular satirical site. But because that lean is right, rather than left, it gets painted as more extreme, or people feel that there is some kind of more pressing need to label it as satire.
It indicates that the "fact checkers" may be in a bubble of their own and are failing to account for their biases appropriately.
