It's dangerous, because it causes unjust criticism. What does pace mean in this context? I guess ill-founded means not serious?  Desireandlove Joined on Sat, Jun 7 2008 Junior Member 57 Context

	Clive  +  686982 Sun, 15 Mar 09 06:07 PM Hi, I've tried in the past, but the media misinformation continues to gather pace like some ill-founded rumor. It's dangerous, because it causes unjust criticism. What does pace mean in this context? Speed. 'To gather pace' is to gain speed, to speed up. I guess ill-founded means not serious? No. It means 'without any correct foundation'. The idea is that there is no truth in the rumour.
