Well I'm disagreeing that it's similar to how other, more competent, administrations have done things in the past. Whether it's how things are done in the corporate world or not is kind of irrelevant as government plays by different rules. I also think it's a bad idea on its face since it leads to overreaction in the media and won't have its intended effect since it only encourages unattributed leaks rather than normal communication where the people running the government at least know who is saying things.

Definitely. Leaking information isn't just righteous, it's fun and can be monetized...there's just too much incentive.
