This CNN coverage is ridiculous.....as is all CNN coverage of live unfolding events.

- The idiots on camera just babble and say whatever comes into their tiny brains, because that's what they have to do.
- There's a huge graphic of BREAKING NEWS with a description of whats going on, which is covering a quarter of the screen.
- They never have their facts straight the first time they "report" them.

not really. all reporting of live events like this are all the same. just idiots babbling nonsense when they have no idea what they're talking about. the ditz on CNN thinks it's a good thing the kid fell out because that means he wasn't in the air. nevermind that he probably fell out at like 8,000ft.

I'm without Twitter at work. Where the hell do they think the kid fell out? Haven't they been tracking this thing since it took off?

I'm hoping he was never in there to begin with.

I'm still hoping this was all an elaborate ruse by a 6-year old to get away from his whackjob parents.

Me too. Maybe he untied it and didn't get in.

Sheriff's office spokeswoman tells CNN most likely boy was never aboard balloon.

On Twitter -- take it FWIW.

Could've bought him enough time to make it to Mexico.

I'm guessing this was a publicity stunt by the wacko parents.

Does anyone know if the kid has SEC speed?

With this amount of time, he'd be in Brazil if he had SEC speed.

This has really given me a great birthday gift idea for that bratty nosed 7 yr old down the street..

This story gets more and more bizarre. Balloon boy's father thought JFK Jr. faked his plane crash death.
