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.

Was said by Louella Parsons over 50 years ago through the main stream media as a gossip columnist. Then the main stream continued with it. Fox started using it eventually like the rest of the media these days because it became the newest hit word again for a time.

Unexpectedly from my point of view. I don't see how it makes sense from yours since you didn't get it. If I explained it was a joke right after the joke that would make it a terrible joke. It's also not clear that me explaining things is always good enough, as some tend to need much deeper detailed breakdowns.

If the context doesn't make sense, you very well might have missed something. If you believe some people are bad based on poor reasoning, it's more likely you'll misinterpret what they're saying. You used, exactly, 3 times in your 4 short sentences when asking what I meant in your first reply. Sounded fairly serious to me. Not all jokes are funny, and while the audience usually gets the final say, if they didn't get the joke then they really don't have much say about it.
