Exactly. Again, that's my point.

Hey, I agree. The American media tends to sensationalize news. Maybe they did that here too. But I also think this is valid news, and should be covered. Especially if the family was trying to get attention. They may have gotten that attention, but they're now also going to get a HUGE backlash when people find out that the father was calling the media before he called the police.

You thought from the beginning that there was no way the kid was in the balloon. There were a lot of experts saying that it was entirely possible that he was in there.
There was valid concern, and there will be valid outrage if it was done intentionally to get attention.
