A thought becomes a rumour if someone says it's a rumour and people believe it. I would bet that most "rumours" posted online start off that way.

A good example is how Friedman, who is unquestionably a reliable insider, will post a thought (clearly labelled as such), and it immediately gets rumour status as it works its way around the internet.
