This is pure propaganda. It's been astroturfed on 4chan and mainstream social media for weeks, though to great skepticism on the former. The UFO nut community (people who make their interest/belief in UFOs into their entire personality, to the neglect of all other considerations) is being weaponized for political leverage, just like the anti-vax and chemtrail communities were.

- thegrim33 6mo agoAh, a commenter claiming something is propaganda .. let's go look through their submissions to HN and see their posting pattern .. Let's see .. - Trump-related political posts - China-related political posts - Iran-related political posts - DOGE-related political posts - RFK-Jr-related political posts - Covid-19 related posts - Economy-related political posts - Election-related political posts - Anti-Russia/anti-"nazi" political posts My oh my, with that post history, I surely trust you to decide for us what's "propaganda' and what's not. Surely you yourself aren't a huge propaganda account.
- kevin_thibedeau 6mo agoIt's the next distraction. They have a new one queued up every week until November.
- lotsofpulp 6mo agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_the_zone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_the_zone Very effective tactic. Only solution is to ignore all non local stuff until just before elections.
- ethbr1 6mo agoOoh, like an advent calendar of crazy! Me? I'd rather just keep reading through mentions of Trump in the Epstein files.
- reaperducer 6mo agoOr as one late-night host put it: "The Trump Files, featuring Jeffrey Epstein."
- dylan604 6mo agoKimmel does the Trump-Epstein Files (TM), but as we've been repeatedly told, he's not funny and has abysmal ratings and should be fired. He's so bad, he's put his entire parent company's broadcast license up for review. You realize how bad you must be for that to happen?
- lovich 6mo agoI can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or one of the cultists. Great job if it’s the former.
- dylan604 6mo agoI honestly never thought a /s would have been necessary
- BLKNSLVR 6mo agoI actually don't find Kimmel all that funny, but fuck I'm glad he's doing what he's doing. Colbert and Jon Stewart are more my flavor. Shame Colbert is coming to an end.
- dylan604 6mo agoI'd agree with your ranking while putting Fallon below Kimmel. It is funny to watch each of their stand up routines on YT the next day to compare how often they all have very similar jokes. They, along with John Oliver, like to do supercuts of things where everyone is reading the same script, yet I've never seen them do the same thing to themselves. The only thing different is they are not reading the same script. Sometimes, the jokes literally write themselves and not a coordinated effort.
- wizardforhire 6mo agoAs wild as this is, its very true… idk about till November as I think their playbook repeats too often. Regardless, I have friends that run mobile studio vans for on-air guests whose major client is fox news… they get schedules two weeks in advance of guests. Locations… scheduling, production, logistics all takes time and planning obviously… the studios and powers at be absolutely have already thought in advance what stories they’ll be pushing! Not to say random last minute events don’t happen constantly throwing a wrench in things… but regardless the over arching narratives and news cycle are already mostly planned out.

- tardedmeme 6mo agoProbably settles some large polymarket bets as well. "Government will announce UFOs are real" has been a popular one for a long time.
