The news is eating it up because idiots are consuming every bit of garbage information they will put out. TikTokers get thousands of views because people are fooled into thinking something is going on. If there are drones, it’s some ding dongs who are getting a kick out of the attention it’s getting.

Iran is not invading with drones. It’s not aliens from the ocean. It’s not a some secret government program. It’s proof that American education has failed and raised the majority population to be mouth breathing morons.

End rant.

      Media and TikTok profit off of ad revenue. The more eyes on the content, the higher the ad revenue.

        So, all the governors and congress people are getting kickbacks from the tiktokers?

        I know many of them, like Tim Burchett, are just ranting for their crazy base and see this as an opportunity to talk shit about the Biden admin. But you said it’s all about getting paid by covering the hysteria.

          No. I’m saying there is nothing going on and the media is covering something that isn’t even happening and cashing in on it.

            There is absolutely nothing going on, huh?

            That’s a strong take. Wow. I don’t agree with that. I agree there is at least 50% hysteria going on, but 100%? I don’t think so.
