SOS: Original material, please – De Void - Sarasota Herald-Tribune - Sarasota, FL - Archive

Billy Cox has a good article on comedy, MSM, and their take on UFOs:SOS: Original material, please – De Void - Sarasota Herald-Tribune - Sarasota, FL - Archive

Teeing off on UFOs — or perhaps more accurately, on the people who suspect there’s something extremely weird going on upstairs — is easy. Actually, it’s expected, because it’s always been done this way. It’s like Gallagher’s watermelons or Henny Youngman’s violin or Ed McMahon’s “you are correct, sir!” jack-in-the-box. The humor is victimless, like Nazi-bashing, because everybody knows these UFO rubes are crazy and how are they gonna complain anyway since there’s no electricity in Appalachia. It’s as reliable as Moe pronging Curly’s eyeballs with his forefingers — and it never fails to amuse.
