What every side reports
The trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other alleged 9/11 plotters is scheduled to begin in 2028, nearly 27 years after the September 11 attacks.
Where the framing diverges
The left-leaning CBS News coverage presents a straightforward status update on the legal proceedings, focusing on procedural facts without emotional framing. The right-leaning Fox News coverage emphasizes the emotional toll on victims' families and introduces additional detail about a ruling excluding FBI statements, framing the delay as a prolonged injustice and questioning whether a verdict will ever be reached.
