  • In August 2019, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a contender for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, sat for an hour-long interview for The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. The interview covered a range of contemporary political issues, and at its conclusion, Rogan —with tongue planted firmly in cheek — intoned that he wanted to ask the senator one last question, which Sanders responded to with equally mock seriousness: Even though this exchange was clearly just a bit of humor intended to wind down a long and serious interview on a fun note, news outlets such as Fox News and Rolling Stone used it as the basis for online articles under headlines such as Bernie Sanders Pledges to Reveal Info on Aliens If He Wins in 2020 and If Elected, Bernie Sanders Will Reveal What the Government Knows About Aliens. The Fox News article, for example, opened as follows: Neither of those articles conveyed in their text that Sanders had not seriously or literally pledged to reveal anything about space aliens — he had merely humored an interviewer by engaging in some playful banter at the close of a lengthy discussion of genuine national election topics.
