    Remember when this terrorist group's kidnapping of Patty Hearst(the
    original indolent heiress, long before Paris Hilton) was fictional?
    Yes, as I was in the San Francisco bay area at the time and the local newspaper was owned by the Hearst family. It was front page news for months.

    But wasn't it later found out to be a fictional kidnapping?

    Or how did Hearst's papers treat the subsequent reveal?

    Like with so many other things..."never believe anything until officially denied". :P

    Or never question anything until you suddenly see a concerted version of an event that never quite matches up with what you saw/heard yourself?
