Actual website:
If you’ve witnessed an Alien abduction, do not be alarmed. The Alien is in good hands. We will take care of it… and return it safely to its place of origin.
It.
ABC sanewashes this.
At the bottom of the website there is a line that says the “aliens” will be returned “safely to [their] place of origin”.
Dehumanization is this admin’s butter. They slather it over everything they deem other, and usually with the same ghoulish “humor” we see here. Honest journalism should be relentlessly disgusted by this, and I don’t see much of it. Just like with all the cries of election tampering from the right, the cries of “fake news” weren’t a lamentation of its existence. They just wanted to be the ones driving it.
Dehumanization
Thank you for pointing that out explicitly. I was entirely baffled by this whole x-files thing until then.
It makes perfect sense that they’d be dehumanizing people like this.
It would be a shame if this site were to suffer a DOS attack.
