You have the Nord Stream pipeline story which IMHO is credible and if true, has the US sabotaging its European allies with illegal unauthorized military operations; you have the story in Ohio — and the media ignores both to talk about balloons and aliens.
Once again this take is horseshit. Front page of r/news has 3 Ohio train stories, another story about a different train derailment, and ZERO balloon stories. Yesterday it was 7 ohio train stories and 2 balloon stories.
If you aren't seeing "the media" talk about this, it's because you choose to consume garbage media sources.
