Leaking is a game played in Washington that the public doesn't really understand. While a journalists' job is to secure leaks and a flow of information to meet publishing or broadcast deadlines, his source risks their job and prison time to do it, in theory. But here we see powerful people, agency and department heads (even presidents) quoted anonymously in an effort to control the narrative and shape public opinion.

No article on fake news should ignore a discussion on leaks, else it risks bring labled fake news itself. That's why we need a separate stand alone article on leaks, cause the two compliment each other a give a much fuller understanding how to identify fake news.
