What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on Selma Blair’s arrest after an alleged altercation on a flight and on the resulting assault charges. South China Morning Post adds that she was accused of injuring two flight attendants and says she was also charged with assaulting a police officer and a nurse, details not mentioned by ABC News. ABC News instead frames the story more narrowly around the flight incident and cites the Port Authority as its source.
