Internet Rumors of Famous people

who starts this mess up anyway? could it a spurned ex lover or a former manager or a company with a Axe to grind? today news was spread about Comedian Sinbad's sudden death yesterday,but it was founded to be not true. I mean over the years all kinds of rumors start poping off left&right but i want Proof before just anything ends up going for news. I'd expect more accuracy. it's one thing if there is a story of Gossip,but to say Death on someone is very powerful&there has to be truth before anything goes for news. Media is sloopy alot of time these days. it's been that way for quite some time&it's truly a shame. just because you don't hear about somebody for a while doesn't mean they are deceased. i wish people would wait until there is actual proof before just spreading things under false wording.
