I used to warn people about doing anything that would end up on the front page of the Washington Post. Lots of the things we did would have made great stories, but those stories will not ever be told - not anywhere, not by anybody.
So, when something new comes up in the New York Times, we could caution the same kind of things. The Times says the US entertained some people from Venezuela and those folks were contemplating revolution against the current government. What were they thinking? They must have known this would kick off a search for anyone coming to New York or anywhere close the the USA. That gets people killed in Venezuela, whether they were up to what the New York Times reported or not.
The New York Times might be desperate for news, but I doubt it. They have plenty to choose from and very little of it will be a stupid as outing some revolutionaries in a leftist government where the retribution is sure to be swift and deadly. To quote a famous person, How Stupid is That?
We have to believe the New York Times has crossed a journalistic line by reporting something like this. They had no business doing it, and surely know better. The only ones that benefit are the leftists in power in Venezuela's extreme government. Is the New York Times that far left that it needs to support the likes of Nicolas Maduro? We might speculate more about the foundations of the Times if that is the case. They could not publish in Venezuela without more oversight that that newspaper could tolerate. Hypocritical is word that comes to mind, but more than that, reckless . Like Wikileaks, they will deny that anything they disclosed will be the cause of the death of anyone. The real victims will be covered over and gone before anyone knows the truth.
