* "Journalist" Geraldo Rivera in early 2003, while Rivera was traveling with the 101st Airborne Division in Iraq during a Fox News broadcast, Rivera began to disclose an upcoming operation, even going so far as to draw a map in the sand for his audience. The military immediately issued a firm denunciation of his actions, saying it put the operation at risk, and nearly expelled Rivera from Iraq.
** Parodied by ''[[The Daily Show]]'', which saw this as Rivera getting overexcited about establishing his [[Intrepid Reporter]] credentials.

If he gets everybody killed, so be it. He's not gonna pussy out.}}
* News of the impending attack on Goose Green during the Falklands War was released by the British government and broadcast on the BBC World Service while the troops were still advancing on the town (and hadn't yet been detected by the Argentinian forces).
