Duhh! Why wasn't the press saying this days ago? The real story here is that the media was duped. They never showed any real curiosity. And the fact that few if any in the media are criticizing the press coverage shows how we never hear of press misconduct.
in reference to:"Reporting from Ft. Collins, Colo. -
What at first appeared to be an accidental balloon launch, which captivated the nation as rescuers tried to reach a 6-year-old believed trapped inside, was actually a publicity stunt done in the hopes of getting a reality TV show, authorities said today.
Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden said at a news conference here that the incident, which captured the nation's attention until the boy was found hiding in his house hours later, was a hoax.
"They put on a very good show for us, and we bought it," Alderden said of the professionally trained actors who are the parents of young Falcon Heene. Initially, investigators had believed the flight was genuine.
Richard and Mayumi Heene are expected to face felony charges, including conspiracy and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The sheriff's department also has asked social services to evaluate whether the Heenes -- amateur scientists who have taken their three sons to chase hurricanes and tornadoes -- should continue to have custody of their children."
