6. I read the story as you did, and my conclusion was that the "anonymous leak" was most likely Cheung.

I'm imagining the conversations that most likely took place...or maybe it was just imagined conversations in Weiss' head...about her having an "exclusive connection" to the White House for "scoops" no one else was going to get.

This is why Maggie Haberman from the NYT has been on the receiving end of so much heat during the 2 "Trump administrations"...we can believe what we want to believe, but "word on the street" is that her "journalistic integrity" has suffered on occasion because of her addiction to "having access to Trump." And we know that for reporters...especially female reporters...if they don't want to be called "stupid and nasty" and countless other things by Trump, they just report what's handed to them, without questioning its accuracy or truthfulness.

Seems like Bari Weiss won't have any problems in that regard.
