==== About the NYT link you just shared ====

A New York Times LIVE updates page can exist without confirming the most extreme claims being circulated.

Here’s the crucial distinction:
* LIVE pages = rolling reports, unverified claims, statements, investigations
* CONFIRMATION = a finalized NYT article that explicitly states: > “U.S. officials confirmed the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro”

If the NYT had confirmed:
* U.S. strikes and
* capture of a sitting head of state

Then there would already be:
* a finalized NYT headline article
* a presidential address or Pentagon statement
* mirrored confirmation from Reuters + AP + Bloomberg
* emergency UN Security Council coverage

That kind of confirmation cannot stay confined to live blogs.
