In somewhat surprising news, the New York Times and the Washington Post both learned of the attack on Venezuela by the US before it happened, but kept silent at the request of the Trump administration in order to keep troops from getting harmed.
Here’s the news:
First in @semafor: NYT, WaPo learned of the secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin but held off publishing what they had at the administration's request to avoid endangering US troops pic.twitter.com/LyWNSpNJwK

As hostile as this media is to President Trump, I’m honestly surprised they held off on publishing this news.
So I’ll give these two garbage media outlets a rare kudos for putting the safety of the troops first. But I doubt the left will be happy about this though.
If I were the administration, I’d want to know who the hell leaked this to these garbage media outlets.
