How the coverage framed it

Coverage of this story was largely uniform across the political spectrum, with a bias spread of just 0.0 points between the lowest and highest scores. Nearly every outlet relied on straightforward, wire-style language — phrases like "at least 5 dead," "veers off runway," and "federal investigators probe" dominated, reflecting a shared factual approach with no ideological loading. The one minor exception was the New York Post, which received a slightly elevated score from one scorer for foregrounding dramatic human-interest detail: its headline highlighted "dramatic footage," "stunned cops," a "mangled car," and a direct survivor quote — "We've got one breathing!" — rather than leading with the death toll or investigative context. This reflects a tabloid storytelling style rather than any political framing. In short, the variation across outlets was stylistic, not ideological, ranging from service journalism (Miami Herald's flight-delay angle) to procedural reporting (the Guardian's investigator focus) to dramatic scene-setting (the Post).
