Fresno Bee
A Wednesday Bee story
reported that Bernadette Planting was reunited with her pet goldfish, Charley, after being found on Lori Igasan's front lawn more than a mile away. The Bee
says today that the women made up the story. "Journalists are trained to be skeptical, but at some point we have to take people at their word," says executive editor
Betsy Lumbye. "We're disappointed that these ladies weren't honest, and disappointed that we didn't catch the hoax."
