Maybe "make shit up" is a little strong, but if someone comes running up to a reporter and tells him that yetis are coming out of the woods and attacking people, it would help a whole lot if the reporter didn't turn to the camera and broadcast something along the line of "sources here say that yetis are coming out of the woods and attacking people."
