I dont see the difference between saying 'theres a rumor that xyz is happening' and 'theres a rumor but we arent going to repeat it.' Both are going to cause panic. It got to the point where the guys on CNBC seemed even hesitant to say 'I think theres a problem here' for fear that it would be interpreted as a rumor.
