    If it was you who had as a goal to <whatever you said>, wouldn’t you try to come up with something at least borderline plausible to fill the newscycle? Or would you try to spin an insanely over the top fictional comedy show that no one believes for a hot second?

      No, the whole point is to throw something insanely over the top and fictional out there (Peru aliens) in order to group the borderline plausible (Grusch report to Congress) with insanely over the top. These happening at the same time tries to lop Grusch in with the first group, despite him being incredibly credible and denying everything to do with the first group, yet the first group dominates the news cycles.
