Welles was able to pull off his hoax in 1938 due to the lack of widespread communication and skepticism about radio broadcasts at that time. Today, with advanced technology, social media, and fact-checking tools, it is much harder to deceive the public on a large scale without being quickly exposed. Also, people are generally more skeptical and informed about news and media sources nowadays.
