You're right it would not kill them to leave out the word allegedly. But
the problem is this. Who then decides and on what criteria to
leave the word out and accuse the guy of stealing? If they come to
the wrong conclusion, they will be accuse of false reporting and
potentially open to a lawsuit. I can see it taking a lot more time and
money for the
paper than it's worth. I would not want to
be the guy deciding when to leave the word out.


Sigh. If only there were such a tort as "false reporting."

What a job! Use "allegedly" and you can write anything, facts be damned.
The only thing better is being a weatherman.

"According to predictions, the chance of rain tomorrow is 50%". (Meaning,
it's going to rain tomorrow or not.) Either way, you get it right. Put me
in front of a blue screen and give me $100k a year and bennies, and just let
me have access to the Internet and Google, and I could be a decent
weatherman. A $4 Salvation Army suit, a $75 used laptop, and a little
George Carlin schtick, I could do it. Where do I apply?

Hey, Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. Al Sleet, your hippy dippy
weathermannnnnnnnnnn..........................
