CNBC is NBC Universal's financial/business news network. Its financial and economic reporting is generally reliable and well-sourced. On non-financial news, it tends toward mainstream center-left framing consistent with its parent network.
**FlyDubai FZ1073 coverage:** CNBC's headline was among the most accurate and direct of the major outlets: 'Passengers and crew foil co-pilot\'s apparent attempt to crash FlyDubai flight to Israel.' This clearly names the co-pilot as the attacker, describes the intended action (crashing the plane), identifies the flight as Israel-bound, and credits passengers and crew with stopping the attack. One of the few initial headlines that accurately conveyed the severity of the event.
