Considering all the hype that the Balloon Boy non-story has gotten, is the 24-hour news cycle broken? (poll 2132654)

Considering all the hype that the Balloon Boy non-story has gotten, is the 24-hour news cycle broken?

Yes. The kid didn't even do anything. It screams hoax.

Maybe. It does have some value, but quite often, it turns non-stories into huge stories for no reason.

No. It's working just fine.
