At least the Orson Welles broadcast announced that it was a radio play at the beginning and end. It was only the people who tuned in while it was going on who (supposedly) mistook it for actual news.
If the aliens didn’t listen to the full broadcast before deciding to mount an expedition, they have only themselves to blame.
Fox news is left leaning and all the rest ar much further left leaning, if you cannot see that you need to put down the Koolaid and understand all news agencies have a bias. Mass media is owned by people that want to feed you a particular diet that is toxic, keep consuming it at your peril. Now enjoy the cartoon for what it is, a cartoon.
You’re a cartoon “alien” from a society so advanced it could travel god-knows how many light years — 80, say? — to a distant planet where radio broadcasts in hundreds of alien languages have been radiating into space for maybe a century, and after having successfully translated one of them and interpreted it to be an account of invasion of one planet by another — which, by the way, has no evidence of life on it — and you’re pissed off at us now because it turns out you couldn’t distinguish fact from fiction?!

If you think this is bad, wait until the aliens start receiving Fox News broadcasts.

But is he REALLY welcome even though he just came to help?

What an odd thing to say. CNN is much worse, and the other major outlets aren’t much better. Each has its own agenda.

HG Wells published the story in 1898, don’t they have library’s on Mars?
Maybe John Carter could have filled him in before he left Mars.

the real question is who they came to help – Earth or Mars?

OK, let me make sure I’ve got this straight.
You’re a cartoon “alien” from a society so advanced it could travel god-knows how many light years — 80, say? — to a distant planet where radio broadcasts in hundreds of alien languages have been radiating into space for maybe a century, and after having successfully translated one of them and interpreted it to be an account of invasion of one planet by another — which, by the way, has no evidence of life on it — and you’re pissed off at us now because it turns out you couldn’t distinguish fact from fiction?!

Even if it were real, that’s way too late to get in on the action.

Definitely not the aliens from “Contact”.
