While this may turn out to be true, at the moment it’s totally unsupported speculation rather than BREAKING news...
That’s kind of the point that the author is trying to make.
I agree. Speculating on grades is not BREAKING news. Put this story up when it turns out to be true.
It’s ‘breaking’ in the sense that a smart lady like Rubin has the guts to say ‘go ahead, prove me wrong and release the transcripts’. If C-BS got away with ‘fake but accurate’ smears od Bush, then a blogger can state the obvious, without the fake pretense of ‘objectivity’.
