I guess in the long run, it might have made sense for Mulder to either succeed Throat and X as the leaking insider, or drop out of the Bureau and become a crusading crank reporter.

I am now wishing that I'd had a computer at that point, so I could've gotten into XF fandom. There must have been fic written about something like this.

I think history has shown that the only foolproof method for Getting The Word Out is a symbiotic partnership between a Crusading Journalist and a Sympathetic Insider Who Leaks Like A Sieve

Bwah! Also, the reverse is sometimes seen - the hero, and the journalist who keeps their secrets, ala Matt Murdock and Ben Urich.
