What Organization has been calling it bombshell news.  Not understanding because I have not seen that from MSM networks unless you are talking about Fox.  Even if a media call something bombshell anyone who even remotely pays attention to news headlines know that certain words are used to get people to actually read or watch whatever is being reported.  The first thing for any decerning individual is are they reporting facts or providing opinions.

Most people only read headlines so most news orgs knows a nice bombastic headline grabs attention or if you want to direct a narrative you just put it in the headline and people will run off believing whatever was reported.  As I stated in before, these are all opinion-based news tactics and it really does not matter if its MSM, your youtube story or some blog post.

This is so much funnier actually. It was a simple joke. Let me make it boring though and explain.

Main stream media has boring or nothing burger stories that they often call bombshells, which is ridiculous, to the point of poking fun at.

I made a joke about The Twitter Files being bombshells because that's the type of thing the main stream media would say.

Yet the main stream media is barely talking about it though, which is even funnier because it's totally main stream type news.

All you'd have to do is change the Twitter info wording from left to right or Biden to Trump and it would be getting covered 24/7.

Then you unexpectedly took it seriously yet expected a serious answer to explain what was so bombshell about what was a joke.

You clearly knew it doesn't make sense from a serious perspective, because it's a joke, but you still didn't get it's a joke after my reply and wink.

It was just a joke about the main stream media. You can relax.

Hmm, but its not just MSM that says nothing burger, I see a lot of conservative's media saying the same thing.  So do you only look at the MSM or do you selectively only look at what support your opinion.

I did not unexpectedly take it seriously.  I took what you stated and wanted clarification on it.  If you just stated I am joking and leave it at that, I would not respond.  If you throw in some opinion, I might not agree with then there is a chance I will give you one back.

Jokes on text is hard to tell from context.  If you believe everyone can magically understand your joke, you must be new to forums.  There is nothing to relax about, I am no more serious then you are.  I did not get your joke, even after you gave context, I still do not get the joke but as long as it made you happy that is fine but then again not all jokes are funny or witty like a lot of people tend to believe.
