NY Times and Wash Post knew of attack in advance, but held off reporting.

I find this hard to believe. Rubio said it himself that no one else knew.

The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops, two people familiar with the communications between the administration and the news organizations said. The decisions in the New York and Washington newsrooms to maintain official secrecy is in keeping with longstanding American journalistic traditions — even at a moment of unprecedented mutual hostility between the American president and a legacy media that continues to dominate national security reporting. And it offers a rare glimpse at a thread of contact and even cooperation over some of the highest-stakes American national security issues.

Fox said they knew in advance that something was going down, but held off commenting.

They have spys in very deep places. In the days leasing up to the operation it probably went from a very small handful to potentially hundreds of people knowing. All the troops involved had to be told for example.

This is the new trend in reporting
Pretend you knew everything all along but didn’t report it because “reasons”
shite we’ve seen it a dozen times in LSU’s coaching change

I call bullshite.
Because if so, would have been leaked.
I do believe based on what I saw in videos and the death count was this was an organized agreement between the parties that he was coming in and made it a charade to cover the fact that Maduro is a Pussy and not ready to die for his beliefs.

There was some reporting that Maduro was “negotiating”. That’s all they knew.

CIA leaks.
NYT and WaPo are basically CIA outlets.

FIFY…. To me, this is the NYT and WaPo patting themselves on their own back.
None of us are fooled.

I wonder if driving an air craft carrier up in their front yard and saying surrender or face the consequences gave them any clues

The rumors i heard was that the leaks to NY Times and Wash Post came from a certain minority leader’s office in congress. Supposedly there is proof this group even tried to contact Maduro and warn him directly.
The message was received too late.
So says the scuttle butt, but I was looking for more confirmation that the news had the leaks… seems there may be some smoke there.

That’s a fricking lie. Number one they don’t give a shite about US troops and number 1.b) they would have released it hoping that the mission would fail so it would make Trump look bad.
Our media is a joke.
Just like they were working on a big story about Minnesota and a 23 year old tic toker exposed the daycare center. They knew about that too I bet.
Journalism in this country is no different that The View!

Are these the same guys that told us they just mistakenly glanced over Biden being a potato for four years? Those sleuths ?

Enemies of US citizens and of Trump. If they had info that they knew might cause failure of a mission under the Trump admin, they would have used it, and then let everybody know they did it.

The FAA shut down Caribbean airspace, with hundreds, if not thousands, of flights being canceled or re-routed. When did the FAA do that? Obviously sometime in advance of the attack.

Not hard to believe at all

He had better be prepared to sing like his life depends upon it, because it does. “As you just witnessed El Presidente we can drop your arse off on Hugo Chavez just as easily as we snatched your arse off it?”

Didn’t the Venezuelan opposition party come out and say this was the case?
