maybe not all, but everyone today, it seems like they have their own editorial (blogs) where they take their journalistic freedoms very seiously.......and the spin that is generated is not generated, in a lot of cases anyway, by the ones actually involved....rather, it's generated by someone's opinion of the matter......and then it grows legs and becomes fodder in places like this. ask yourself, where do most people get their news these days? hard copy journalism is becoming the dinosaur......blogs, web casts, the daily show, real time, PTI, Around the Horn, radio talk shows etc...are the primary sources of information for a lot of people.To be fair, it is not media writers speculating in print that is happening. It is pretty much this network of message boards. But that can be just as bad anymore...

so your original point, i agree with........
either way, i think your point about "why leave it open for interpretation" is a valid one. it's your business, you should control how it is communicated so no interpretation is necessary.Not sure where I should go with this, except to agree that yes, the blogosphere does have an enourmous impact on the speed and voracity of news these days. I have ambivalent feelings about this fact. While some is clearly first rate, others are just clearly not. Absent a good measuring stick for trustworthiness, I have thus far steered clear.
Expect volinBham any moment when topics like this come up...
I respectfully disagree. Scuttlebut flies farther, faster, and does more harm than preemptive first source information from a reliable outlet. One can better control the path of a story from the front. Chase it, and you may never catch up...
A completely different opinion than yours UTLCA, but I believe it to be true....
Absent credibly sourced information it would be impossible for me to answer that.In this case what are we speculating that is worse than the alleged truth?

Yeah well it sucks to know that my favorite basketball player, the 2nd leading scorer and best defender, could be kicked off for taking someone's weed. It's sickening to hear especially after meeting his parents and him. I definately did not think he is capable of something like that but oh well.
I think he released a bit too much information with the Raymond Henderson incident. I imagine he realizes it's better to withhold details at least until a thorough investigation is complete.
Yeah, obviously. I'd be ashamed I ever called him my favorite player.
