Here is Jason "reporting" on the Nintendo Switch releasing in 2016 which didn't actually happen.

https://kotaku.com/possible-leak-that-nailed-pokemon-codename-also-lists-n-1761518611

So again. How do you know which leak is accurate and which one isn't?

To be fair, he is commenting on another person's leaks in that article, it's not a leak based on his own sources. Schreier has overall the best track record in the whole industry in terms of leaks, just as a for instance, I recall him accurately leaking details of every Assassin's Creed from 2011's Revelations through 2018's Odyssey, it got to the point where Ubisoft had pretty much blacklisted him, leading to him not talking about Valhalla at all until another leaker talked about it first. And those AC games were just some of his many accurate leaks. Now obviously nobody is 100% accurate, but in Schreier's case, his misses usually seem to be because of internal delays or cancellations after his initial leak, rather than bad sources on his part, though he did have bad sources a few times over the years. 

He is still propagating false information, information that people will "believe".

He is a "credible source" remember?

In this example you'd look towards the end of the article and see that he said he hadn't been able to confirm it with any of his own sources so it wasn't something he was vouching for. Shikamaru went into his high accuracy but the main point is what the source is and how it's being reported. If a console is launching in under a year and leaked details about it are being widely reported on then there's gonna be a lot of accuracy to it. As I said before anyone paying attention to leaks in 2016 knew that the Switch was gonna be a hybrid system ahead of time so leaks clearly have value.

Majority of "leaks" cannot be confirmed. They are leaks.
He is just trying to cover his ass, despite propagating false information.
