The flip side is, is it such a crime for blogs to publish these things that seem obviously fake? Even when they qualify it? We're not talking the New York Tim

We're not talking the New York Times here. We're talking Apple-fan blogs.
If I forward you a link by email of something interesting but probably fake, do you get offended by me sending you something possibly fake? No, if you are interested in Apple stuff, then you probably find it interesting, even if fake.
Casual blogs are the equivalent of passing along interesting stuff found on the internet, fake or not.

- arn 14y agosure, I guess I didn't bother qualify the post, because I wasn't lumping MacRumors in with the "casual Apple-fan blog" in my mind. That's perhaps why we didn't post it.

You're wasting my time and making me question your ability to think critically. I expect this sort of thing from my Grandmother. All others are held accountable.
