Well without following through on a paper and working out how many stories are are actually factual, then we can't find an answer tbh. I'm still firmly in the camp that most of what is written in papers etc is baseless.

It's a bit harder to say that now that Jose has gone. I've been ignoring the rumours of a rift between him and Roman for months now, but clearly there must have been considerable substance to them. </BLOCKQUOTE>
Not really as the intial rumours could have been baseless and this is somtehing that happened after they started. Some rumours started the moment kenyon came on board, as an example. So how many were complete horsemanure and which journalist actually had it right? </BLOCKQUOTE>
Perhaps. But at least some of the rumours have definitely proved to be correct. Presumably it's a question of what proportion are correct: the journos are going to get some right, and some wrong, like always. My guess is that they don't make a great deal actually up. What they will do is find the most extreme, newsworthy point of view on anything they hear and publish that. But not everything they hear will come to anything. My wife and I (besides being insulted by Sean Hughes) were last night talking about whether to have another child, and what to do about our planned extension. That doesn't mean all of that will happen, but any journalist who was deranged enough to try to make a story out of it could run one.
