Representatives Tim Burchett and former Congressman Matt Gaetz have made sensational claims regarding classified UFO briefings, suggesting the government is hiding information that would cause public panic.
Coverage of Representative Burchett’s claims is concentrated among right-leaning and center outlets, with no representation from the left. While the New York Post focuses on Burchett's warnings that the truth would leave Americans "up at night," far-right outlets like Next News Network emphasize his "not suicidal" remarks and allegations of government retaliation.
