The mark of character for a "journalist" is to not report rumor as fact. Herbie has no character.
I can agree with you on that point, with one exception. If we thought that all reporters, sports or otherwise are "factual" all of the time, we're dreaming. It would be like always trying to find "the truth" in a court of law. Reporters have to "rely" to some degree on surces, and I'm sure do as a good a job as possible to verify their source. Sometimes they miss. Is all I was saying I would be willing to give him the "benefit of the doubt" if that were the case. However, when the mistake was made (after Miles calling him out personally) to me, the real thing that showed a "lac of character" was his refusal to own up to the mistake and to perpetuate his story. And yeah, I have no problem understanding how the initial report could have skewed a championship outcome!
