Then you're sending a fake to the media.

The media will ask if the document is real and the organisation will correctly claim that the document is a fake (because you used your own words).

A lot of these techniques actually make verifying leaked documents very difficult.

In fact some of the faithfully rewritten "facts" may be small fictions designed to identify, couched in the real text. Rewording them still confers the fingerprinted meaning.
