No, that's not really it. I get some scoops on occasion from different sources and stick my neck out big time announcing it on here. I give disclaimers about the story & they are always based on facts and somewhat obvious situations but never the less are real for that moment. The Marv thing was not obvious at the time, nor was it even thought of and I got the scoop from a very unlikely source and brought it up under much protest.
Summing it up, don't shoot the messenger for bringing up stories that may come true and if they don't come true, hanging someone is just plain wrong.
