"Tactic" is an interesting framing. This is a discussion. Some people who might want to participate are journalists who would already be in the process of confirming or have confirmation.

I'm not doing battle here. We're not at war. I'm asking for a free exchange of knowledge among people trying to be civil toward each other.

I'm operating on the assumption that a passing journalist with a source and an interest is already doing their job and, like most journalists, tries to keep it all free and public in recognizing that's best for the good of the public even if it's hard to fund that way.

You're asking for a passing professional to do their job for free for you specifically while you wait.
