Tweets and rumors about NYT piece...

Rumors of a NY Times blockbuster expose of New York Governor Patterson around for nine days. Why should the Times have to deny rumors spread by others --in Tweets, blogs, NY Post crazy front page -- about a story they have not published?

Reporters sometimes seem unaware of how potent Twitter is. For example, ABC's Terry Moran -- with a million followers -- once tweeted Obama's off-the-record epithet ("jackass") about Kanye West and his Video Music Awards antics. Moran quickly deleted the tweet and ABC apologized.
