It’s Helen Thomas doin’ the one cheek sneak.
This reminds me of the time travel hoax on YouTube:

One of the search hits (not here, but on my TV hookup) had a fun vlogger entry where the smarty-pants pointed out that, if someone in the 1920s even *had* a cell phone, they’d have to be talking to no one, because there was no infrastructure. :’)
This “noise all over the Earth” has the stench of the tabloid story that spread around years ago, that a Russian oil or gas well that went deep into the Earth had a microphone lowered into it for some fake reason, and that the howls of people suffering in Hell were recorded.
There are still complete effin’ idiots who believe that one.
I remember laughing at both those hoaxes.
...and that’s why it’s no fun punking whippersnappers any more: too easy!
I had a couple of younger gals at the pool believing that my gall bladder scar was a WWII Samari sword wound that I got sneaking into Japan from a submarine in Tokyo harbor, to rescue some American POWS. By the time “we escaped” with the rescued GIs, we had had to torpedo a Japanese destroyer to get out to sea...and, then.... The worse the story got, the more they ate it up.
What kind of hurt was that I wasn’t even born then.
