Rumors that G4 would be doing a 5 hour special about the Xbox 360 revamp began spreading across major and minor game blogs, though the dubious news originated from a forum post. The rumor was finally quashed, and Adam Sessler of G4 fame expresses his disappointment in the online press for doing nothing -- even exacerbating -- internet rumors.

G4's Adam Sessler decided to address the whole issue of spreading rumors over the internet in the latest Sessler's Soapbox. He all but scolds internet media for allowing these rumors to circulate while doing nothing to confirm or refute them, showing shots of major blog sites Joystiq and Kotaku, since both well-known sites published articles concerning the rumors.

Because rumors spread like wildfire across the web, Sessler states it's the responsibility of internet press to do more than just "state that the rumor exists."
