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

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

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