How the coverage framed it

Coverage of this story was largely uniform across all three outlets, with a bias spread of zero points. ABC, NBC, and the AP all framed the incident in straightforwardly factual terms, using neutral, descriptive language without ideological loading. The shared framing centered on operational consequences — words like "disruption," "disrupt," and "searched and diverted" — and all outlets accurately characterized the threats as false or hoax in nature. The most notable difference among the headlines is not one of bias but of specificity: the AP's phrasing "searched and diverted" offers more concrete procedural detail than the broader "disruption" language used by ABC and NBC. The AP also explicitly uses the word "hoax," while ABC opts for "false." These are minor editorial choices in describing the same factual event, not meaningful framing divergences, and no discernible ideological slant is present in any of the coverage.
