99.9% of the fault for the balloon fiasco rests on the media, itself. The media thrives on sensationalism, so blows such situations out of proportion, both in the telling, and then in the recriminations. There was nothing about this story that warranted 90% of the coverage it garnered in the first place, and if the media would actually stop covering such unimportant triviality, then people would be less likely to try to goof on the media, to get notoriety.
