I always try to give the reader a sense of how complete my knowledge is. If it's a rumor, I call it that. The question is, does reporting that there is a Rumor X, the same as confirming a rumor? I don't think so. Agreed. I always try to give the reader a sense of how complete my knowledge is. If it’s a rumor, I call it that.

When I've been caught repeating a story that has no basis in truth I post a correction with links going back and forth between postings.

But that's not lying is it? To just not tell ALL the story? I’ve been guilty of repeating “rumors” but usually I qualify them as such right from the start.
