When a story is totally bogus and made up it usually does not have "legs." This term is used for stories that seem like rumors but then persist until it turns out there is substance to them. If you are saying that the media can never be believed...OK, but that leaves you waiting for Harbaugh or Baalke to come to your house to tell you personally.
Those folks writing this off as media bias are just as wrong as those who believe everything they read. We will definately know in the future, one way or the other.
Hmmm, tell that to whoever came up with Santa Claus
I'm not saying the media can't be believed but I'm not saying they can be either. And even if I said so, it doesn't automatically mean I'll be waiting for Harbaugh to tell me personally. It just means, I'll wait until someone credible can prove or disprove anything. It's actually very simple. It's a scientists approach. Don't react until the facts are presented. Right now, there are no facts. Only hearsay. I understand however that for most people in our society, hearsay (especially repeated hearsay) can be taken on face value as evidence. Like saying terrorist enough times will cause most people to believe in terrorists.....
