Networks REFUSE to Tell Viewers Attempted United Airlines Hijacker Is an ILLEGAL ALIEN
12th November 2026
On Tuesday, shocking news broke about a Monday night United Airlines flight from Newark, New Jersey, to New Orleans, Louisiana, in which a twice-deported illegal immigrant from Honduras — who claimed to be transgender — attempted to hijack the plane.
Normally, the “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC obsessively cover every clipping of plane tails, near-collisions on the tarmac, or unruly passengers. But when it came to this story, they had no interest in telling their viewers about it.
ABC’s World News Tonight came the closest on Tuesday with a 70-second story, but said nothing about the suspect’s origins or criminal record. Never one to completely skip airline headlines, anchor David Muir even teased three times in less than three minutes about “a possible hijacking alert” of a man who “tried to storm the cockpit.”
My, what a surprise.
