Many leaks are authorized. The White House leaks all the time.

If it is authorized its not a leak. That is not to say the White House doesn't position releases of information as leaks to journalists, but even so, those releases are not actually leaks despite what they would have you believe.

How can a consumer of news media tell the difference? Should we just assume they're all authorized unless someone is holed up in the Moscow airport?
