Does the media believe we are this gullible?

Question

In "The Miracle in Missouri,"why is it that every major network spins this story so that the 4+ year victim of this multiple abduction cradles almost 100% of the story line. The 4 day "victim" wasn't willing or able to contact "help" either, even though he is a straight "A" student, scout, and has scored high on the ACT test?
Both were left alone in the apartment in a very non- threatening neighborhood, ( I know it as I lived in Kirkwood / Glendale for years), had access to telephones, and could come & go at will as their abductor was gone a lot.

Answer 1

The man that kidnapped them said he would kill them if they told.

Answer 2

What's your point?
