I don't follow. Half-truths are lies in my book so it sounds like we agree that those claims are largely fabrications aimed to stir up drama (increase engagement) or deceive us (manufacture consent)

Either way, it shouldn't be legal for any journalist to try to pass off unverifiable gossip as legitimate News.

I interpreted your original comment to mean β€œthe journalist made up the leak.” I’m guessing from your response that you meant the insider source pulled it out of their ass.

I think it is a mix of both. Insiders exaggerating or making stuff up and journalists also exaggerating or straight up lying about having a source when they don't.
