Provided with, as anonymous tips

Answer:

FED TO

Hint:

Think of how information might be discreetly passed to someone, like a journalist receiving leaks from an insider. The phrase suggests a one-way flow of details.

Explanation:

The phrase "provided with" hints at giving something to someone, and "anonymous tips" suggests information passed along quietly. "Fed to" fits because it means supplying something (like tips) to a person or group, often discreetly. The word "fed" also plays on the idea of feeding information, making it a smooth match for the clue.
