       Notice how the first "Chinese Spy Balloon" has almost entirely dropped out of the news already? And how the government isn't talking about it much now that they can see what it actually is and does? As predicted. Only a big story (to the feds or the media) when there's big boom drama.

       @lauren  I just searched for "Chinese balloon" on Google news and found stories within the past 2 days, on several major news services.  USA blacklists Chinese firms over balloon case; New details disclosed; Chinese balloon part of worldwide fleet; etc.   Stories about an event like that do tend to become less frequent after the event... isn't happening any more.  At least I'm not being subjected to everyone-and-their-dog's opinionated tweets and toots about it anymore.
