See I seem to notice there's a BIG correlation between people saying that, with the people that frequent all the facebook/instagram/etc 'alternative' news pages that heavily cover the Ukraine wars etc. Echo chamber folks that are seeing heaps of posts about the balloons because it's good content for those kinds of subscribers.
In a lot of the traditional media outlets, I've been seeing far more reporting on Ohio than on these balloons.
However the first of these big balloon incursions was highly visible to people on the ground, which helped drive it into the media attention. If the general public hadn't been able to see it themselves, I don't think there would have been nearly as much follow-up attention to the other objects.
- skyyler 4y agoThe only news media I consume in any form is the NBC Nightly News. There has been a considerable amount of attention for the balloons. Ohio has been mentioned a few times. It doesn't seem like it's getting the attention it deserves, but maybe I only feel like that because my hometown is in NE Ohio and this situation is more important in my head than it actually is.
