It’s silly to post “news” or “rumours” from total trash sites to begin with, but I would be embarrassed knowing even the original source of the rumour was disputing the articles for being made up and not even trying to verify the info. People are out there writing entire articles based on a single sentence tweet with no context and someone read one and thought “Yeah I’m just going to share this without looking for any verification at all.”
And I don’t know what The Win Column’s reputation is, aside from being an ad-loaded content farm, but holy crap they look stupid for calling it a “report” and making a whole article out of it.

Kind of like posters who rush to be the first to proclaim prospects as a bust.
