'Gannett Company, Inc. is a publicly traded American media holding company headquartered in Tysons Corner, Virginia, near McLean in Greater Washington DC.[3][4] It is the largest U.S. newspaper publisher as measured by total daily circulation."
The suggestion from Post #786 is that there is a tie to the 'company' located nearby. A few thoughts come to mind - First the biggest newspapers sit in close proximity for leaking. Second, reporters and photographers capture things i.e. records; Third it was Gannett that that blocked out text / e-mail on phone during recent SOTU and no other source material can since seemingly be found; and Fourth photographers & reporters travel places making them useful cover agents and/or sources.

manipulate news media for propaganda purposes. It funded student and cultural organizations and magazines as front organizations. Operation Mockingbird
