All told, STAR went through almost a thousand rumor stories over the past six months.

The only problem I have with this is including Mac Rumors and AppleInsider.I know that sounds strange, but you expect to see rumors on those sites. They report and aggregate rumor stories for us, which is their whole model.

What I’m more interested in is the sites that publish rumors that don’t say they are rumor sites, but rather reporting news.

Still, fascinating findings.
