The airport shooting in Paris is receiving contrasting media coverage as usual.
Whereas Sky News's main report is emphasing that the attacker "a radicalised Muslim on a terror list", BBC News's equivalent report is downplaying this element, sticking with describing the attacker as a "man".
The Sky article also begins by stressing the violence perpetrated by the attacker whereas the BBC begins with the violence done to him.
