As you know, the media have been working overtime when it comes to headlines and posts about the cockpit stabbing and attempted hijacking of a commercial airliner going from Dubai to Tel Aviv. The plane was carrying mostly Israelis but thanks to some passenger and crew heroics, ended up landing safely in Saudi Arabia.
Even given what we now know, some outlets are still trying to frame the story this way.

"Pilot brawl"? Wow.
After the hijacking attempt, it's like a memo went out to all media outlets containing key words to use in their headlines and posts.

Simply amazing.
On top of that, outlets like The New York Times have been digging their hole even deeper by attempting to spin the reason they're softening what really happened.

We'll now wait for much of the media to take the inevitable next step, which is to do their best impressions of the Norm Macdonald meme.
