This is the problem with not actually reading those articles.
Trump praised Grassley today, claiming that he got Comey to admit to leaking. Grassley, on the Judiciary Committee, asked Comey if he was an anonymous source in the media or directed anyone at the FBI to be one. The fact check is correct, Comey did not admit to leaking at that hearing. edit for poor wording: two days before he had a friend reveal his memos to the NYT. Trump was wrong.
Comey admitted to those leaks at an Intelligence Committee hearing a month later.
CNN has even edited the headline to make it more clear since people clearly are commenting without actually reading.

If you post a headline that is incorrect based on the content of the article, it's not the reader of the headline who needs admonished for not clicking the article. It's the author of the headline that is in the wrong here then.
