The First Law of Media Leaks

Every day there's a story sourced to "someone familiar" with some matter "on which the source is not authorized to speak publicly" - or some similar turn of bafflegab. Of course, the establishment media expect this to be taken as completely authoritative, no matter how many times these sources have been completely unreliable.

The First Law of Media Leaks

  • Any leak is carefully selected, curated, and phrased in order to serve the interests of the leakers, who are confident that they are immune from consequences.
  • Recent example: the stream of leaks about the Mar-A-Lago raid
  • The only people who know what they were searching for are either the Department of Justice attorneys or the FBI
  • Who knew?
