In the aftermath of the panic caused by the radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds, what is Orson Welles's tone during the press conference?

Explanation:

H. G. Wells, a science fiction writer widely known at the time, had a story entitled The War of the Worlds, whereby aliens would arrive on earth to conquer humanity. A beginner but ambitious young man named Orson Welles decided to adapt the script to the radio format, giving it a news structure for his Mercury Theater on the Air program at CBS and that he would read along with other colleagues on the night of October 30, 1938, in on the eve of Halloween.

The program had lasted just 30 minutes, but the architects of the show had caused the panic to spread among the most unsuspecting with the speed with which the misunderstandings usually spread: there were massive s u i c i d e s , impulsive migrations that congested the surrounding roads and highways from New York, congestion on communications systems.

The next day, protests demanding responsibilities, the head of Orson Welles and an explanation jumped, so that Orson Welles himself apologized for the Halloween joke, considered a mockery by the listeners.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
