The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

The suspension of flights is an essential security measure to protect civilian aviation from escalating gang violence. The multiple attacks on aircraft demonstrate an immediate threat to passenger safety that can't be ignored. This situation requires decisive action to prevent potential casualties and protect American assets.

Guardian

Establishment-critical narrative

This flight ban severely restricts humanitarian access to Haiti during a critical period of instability. The suspension of US and UN flights limits the flow of essential aid and support personnel when needed most. This isolation could worsen the humanitarian crisis and further destabilize the region.
