I just realized that the well known news hoaxer going by the name of Sorcha Faal[1], who has been publishing since 2003, always claims that his sources for his stories are "rumors circulating around the Kremlin". How much more legit is this than all the "anonymous sources say" articles in the NYT and Washington Post, especially since the election?
