That brings me to the next step. You need to sell your rumor. For the sake of time, let’s pretend your already have a medium to disseminate your rumor from. Print, internet, radio… Doesn’t matter. It’s all the same in the end. What you need to do now to make this thing serious, is that you need to be a salesman (or woman) about it. You have to know what you’re talking about (or at least sound like it) and convince your viewers that this is, in fact, inside information. Tell them how hard you’re working to find out the truth about the rumor. Tell your viewers that you have similar reports from multiple sources. And, most importantly, you have to leave them wanting more. Leave saying, “check back later for more updates” or better yet, use a classic “hook” like the pros—hint that there is more to the deal than is being revealed. “[Player]‘s name has been kicked around as part of the package, but I can’t confirm anything yet.”
Sources are the best invention ever. It’s simple and yet so amazing! You can’t be held accountable for what you say (“My source gave me bad info!”).

You are correct Forechecker.
Another thing they forgot, don’t get caught using multiple usernames, telling everyone how great you are.

They forgot the part about having multiple people from within the same website hype said rumor, so it sounds like multiple independent sources and lends “credibility” to the fairy tale, err… rumor.
