Written by CRAYON from the outlets' reports below.
How the coverage differs

All four outlets attribute the ground stop to a telecommunication outage, but they diverge on what Mullin said about an attack. NBC News's excerpt states that he "assured that the issue was the result of some form of attack or hack," while The Hill and CBS News both headline his statement that there is no indication of a "nefarious attack," and NPR frames it as Mullin saying there is "not a threat to the U.S." The Hill adds Mullin's assurance that Americans flying Friday are safe and notes that DHS is still investigating the root cause. NPR and CBS News focus more on the briefing itself, with NPR noting it had a reporter at the White House and CBS pointing to Major Garrett's ongoing coverage.
