I do believe that Morey selectively allows these leaks. They never give out critical information in a way that could negatively impact a deal in progress, so it's no big deal to give the fan base something to chew on, and maybe get a bit of feedback.
Were I Morey, I'd have junior staff seed the official fan forum with issues on which fan feedback is sought (much as cyberx does). And have printouts of interesting threads given to me with the unreadably bad comments deleted out.
