Technology Stocks : Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Let me be a bit disagreeable here. I would argue that Maria was reporting the reason for CSCO's sudden dip, which was that there was a rumor yadayada.

What should she have done?
a) Ignore the fact that CSCO's stock was dipping?
b) Ignore the fact that a rumor was the cause of the dip?
c) Acknowledge that the dip is caused by a rumor but not repeat the rumor?

The fact is, the rumor was news because it had already had an effect.
