What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on a cockpit stabbing aboard a FlyDubai flight to Israel, followed by a diversion and safe landing in Saudi Arabia, with passengers and crew stopping the alleged attacker. NBC News, The Hill, France 24, and CBS foreground Netanyahu’s claim that the co-pilot tried to crash the plane, while BBC, PBS, and Channel 4 lean more on passengers’ accounts and video from inside the cabin. The Guardian and The Hill are also among the few to note that the accused pilot was being questioned or detained in Saudi Arabia, and CBS alone in one extract highlights Netanyahu’s claim of “Islamist radical indoctrination.”
