Sure if I had to bet, neither publication would report it in advance. But for the sake of argument:
2 days - plenty of time to spread the news cycle, form public debate, or debate in Congress. Government has to make a decision
30 minutes - troops in the air, if any US soldiers get killed and/or the mission fails perception will be that the blood is on the publication’s hands, along with calls for treason charges.
Again I doubt they’re reporting, but exact timeline does impact how I view their decision not to report.
I see your point but still think you’re choosing the most charitable interpretation. I choose not to be charitable to two news giants who have helped provide support and cover for starting multiple disastrous wars of aggression that killed countless people.
