"Sheriff alleges balloon drama was publicity stunt; Parents could face charges for hoax in hopes of TV series" by Dan Elliott, Associated Press | October 19, 2009
FORT COLLINS, Colo. - The story that a little boy had floated away in a giant helium balloon was a hoax concocted to land a reality television show, authorities said yesterday, and the boy’s parents will probably face felony charges.
And yet IT IS a FIVE DAY STORY for the AmeriKan MSM.
The stunt two weeks in the planning was a marketing ploy by Richard and Mayumi Heene, who met in acting school in Hollywood and have appeared on the ABC reality show “Wife Swap,’’ Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden said. The Heenes have reportedly been working on a reality TV deal in Los Angeles.
Investigators are examining the possibility of other conspirators, “including the possibility that even some of the media outlets may have had some knowledge about this,’’ Alderden said.
OH, NO!!!
Documents show that a media outlet has agreed to pay money to the Heenes with regards to the balloon incident, Alderden said. He did not name the media outlet, but said it was a show that blurs “the line between entertainment and news.’’
And THIS is the Globe's lead and a FIVE DAY STORY! !!
New England's largest "newspaper!"
It was not clear whether the deal was signed before or after the alleged hoax, or whether that media outlet was a possible conspirator. Alderden did not name an outlet or provide any details....
Well, THAT is CERTAINLY the CASE when it comes to the WAR LIES and the AmeriKan MSM!!!!!!
The stunt temporarily shut down Denver International Airport and caused the National Guard to scramble two helicopters in an attempt to rescue the boy, who was believed to be inside the flying-saucer shaped homemade balloon that hurtled more than 50 miles across two counties. The cost for just the two military helicopters was about $14,500....
Yeah, the TAXPAYER THANKS YOU, jerk!
The drama played out on television to millions of viewers worldwide....
And the MOST IMPORTANT PART was CUT:
"The sheriff's department has asked social services officials 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."
And you know the saying, readers: what goes up must come down.
That explains the free-falling newspapers.
