What happened
- Bomb threats spread to European media organisations on Friday as a fresh wave of alerts also targeted passenger flights.
- Ireland’s RTÉ evacuated staff and interrupted live broadcasts, while Britain’s Sky and Bulgaria’s Nova TVNovaBulgarian television network also reported receiving threats.
- Several other Irish news organisations evacuated offices, and RTÉ later resumed scheduled broadcasting.
- At least 18 flights were affected by Friday’s alerts, with Hungary deploying fighter escorts; affected planes landed safely and searches found no explosives.
- Authorities are investigating who sent the threats, and no link between the messages targeting airlines and broadcasters has been established.
How the left told it
Left-leaning outlets framed the threats as continuing travel disruption that had broadened to newsrooms, while noting that searches found no explosives. Al Jazeera highlighted alerts “expanding to target a number of media organisations”; The Guardian covered evacuations but noted affected flights were a “tiny percentage” of Europe’s traffic.
How the right told it
Right-leaning outlets emphasized renewed disruption and the spread of threats to media organisations. The Daily Mail described Europe as “plunged into chaos,” while Breitbart called newsrooms “a new kind of target” and highlighted evacuations and police deployments; both reported that checks had found no explosives.
