How the Media Would Cover the Apocalypse

On July 27 in the year 2018, the moon will be dripping with rivulets of blood during what is set to be the longest lunar eclipse of this century. According to the British tabloid The Daily Mirror this could be a big “Oi! Mate!” wake-up call for all of us as doomsday preachers are predicting that the event will bring about the end of days. Apocalypse time, baby!!!!

The eclipse is set to last for one hour and 43 minutes. That means that if it really is our last day on Earth, the media will have more than enough time to blog about it, maybe even twice if you are a buff blogger like me. Here’s how (I imagine) our industry’s lovable and intrepid nerds would cover our last moments before sweet, sweet release:

Would U? The Apocalypse

Axios

ONE BIG THING: It’s true the apocalypse is here. A well-wired stalwart of the GOP tells me that the moon is indeed imploding into earth.

Be Smart: Yes, it’s been a wild run. But think about how the history books would have covered it.
