To be semi-fair to Wilner, his reporting got into a common ontological problem with journalism. IIRC he said it was "expected" Burns would transfer. Expectations, as we know, can be wrong: the coaching staff might have overestimated the odds Burns would leave, or Burns might've simply changed his mind. As Shaw said the idea was seriously considered. So was Wilner *wrong*? It's really difficult to say.

Not to get overly political, but this is an issue the news media is going to encounter again and again for various reasons in the coming years.
