Earlier quoted context omitted.

Newsmax and OAN are notorious for extremely slanted coverage. The Guardian has a slant, but nearly every news outlet will have some slant, either by coverage or through omission. But it's certainly a lot worse at Newsmax and OAN. EDIT: accidentally said "doesn't have"

Having them say it's an emergency without saying "Mayday" is good enough and might mean a few more cases that should have been emergen…

You should see the accident from the day before: https://avherald.com/h?article=4e35302b&opt=0 The plane began to "distribute engine parts". The pictures show us just how impressive the distribution was.
