Not sure why people haven't figured it out - bad news is only happening if it is reported. So if you could simply stop reporting the bad news, then they wouldn't be happening. Seems pretty obvious to me. It's similar to testing in software development. The more tests you have, the more the tests can break. Therefore the ideal number of tests is zero - no tests, no red builds. Not sure why people can't get with the program here.

I hadn't realized the Times isn't going along with the DoD "de-brand". On this occasion, I will hand it to them.

Well it was nice to have at least some military actions that didn't leak ahead of time.

Just for context: the first policy was so bad that even Fox News wouldn’t go along with it.

What’s the diff with the new text? Only the word “solicitation” removed?
