I've been guilty on more than one occasion of spreading rumors like the ones that I am about to discuss here. Just ask Bil. I was livid during Ron Gold-gate and slammed Bilerico everywhere that I could. And then I met Bil and got the facts.
That led to me feeling like an idiot, but I learned that getting the facts about something is relatively easy. It involves picking up the phone or meeting someone face-to-face and asking those who would know what is really going on. I'd much rather feel like an idiot with the facts than act like a clueless ass without them.
