Cool Are you nuts or what

This morning while watching a couple of news programs and the British Open Golf Tournament I heard the exact following phrases from news persons and golf color commentators.
In my opinion; I can only speculate; We cannot confirm; It is reported; It's possible; It might be; I think what is in his mind; I have a feeling; etc,etc etc on and on it goes.
These commentators and news persons then continue with a long narrative about something that they really don't have a clue about. Why is it these people believe that their speculation or opinions have any real value. Why can't they just keep quiet and only report those things they know to be factual ?????
