Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal is the largest-circulation U.S. newspaper by weekday edition. Its news reporting is generally factually rigorous and reliable. Its editorial board is conservative-leaning and among the most intellectually serious in U.S. media. The Journal is more likely than most major outlets to report the full factual record on stories that conflict with progressive narratives. **FlyDubai FZ1073 coverage:** The Journal's headline — 'Pilot-on-Pilot Stabbing Forces Emergency Landing' — accurately names the stabbing and the emergency landing but uses neutral language that does not convey the attack's intended outcome (crashing the plane), the attacker's identity (Omani, radicalized), the flight destination (Israel), or the terrorist motive. Better than 'altercation' language used by competitors, but still falls short of the full picture. An earlier article reportedly used 'struggle in the cockpit.' Follow-up reporting was more thorough.
