Not when you're a reporter and people actually use your feed as a quick and concise version of reporting.
Joe Six Pack can say whatever he wants. Even analysts like Kelly Hrudey can say whatever he wants, but Roger Millions is the beat reporter for the Calgary Flames. He bears some responsibility for that position and shouldn't abuse it by reporting things before they're confirmed.
Twitter and all other social media has been the worst thing to happen to news media since....well anything. Everyone wants to be first and nobody gives a #### about being accurate. Worst. Thing. Ever.
