We used to, but now if a rumor is on Twitter, we don't try to suppress it.

Interesting reactions. Thumbs down on a plea for honesty and personal integrity?

Imo it's because we're fans not journalists who have to verify things they print

Fox News exists, they don't verify anything

If you think they are bad, take a look at CNN, Buzzfeed, and the Washington Post

Yes, take a look at some of the most highly respected news orgs on earth

I'm not saying that is good or bad. Just that it is amazing to me.

That's not what the thumbs downs are for. They are for the suggestion

Does this include posting transfer rumors that haven’t happened yet?

It only has to due with known false posts. Rumors are fine unless it can be hurtful and is false

Cougarpride

How do you know the Rose thing is false? Honest question

Alpi Gusto

Same question. Does he still think it is a false rumor?
