The more acute the stress, the more active the leakers, the bigger the story.
The quote from Michael Wolff's book "Siege: Trump Under Fire" emphasizes the relationship between stress and the intensity of media leaks. When a situation becomes particularly tense or critical, those involved tend to disclose more information, often leading to more significant narratives. This suggests that in high-pressure environments, individuals may feel compelled to share insider details, which can amplify the impact of unfolding events.
