If CNN or MSNBC existed in late May 1942:

"Reliable sources report that the US Navy has sortied two aircraft carrier task forces from Pearl Harbor to counter an expected Japanese attack upon Midway Island . . ."

Nimitz seems to have kept the distribution of OpPlan 29-42 for Midway pretty well controlled, and I don't see anyone from Rochefort's Hypo unit or Eddie Layton springing a leak.

On the other hand, I'm not so sure about John and Joe Redman back in Washington. They hated Rochefort so much that if there had been a CNN Washington bureau back then . . .
