Two trespassers scale Empire State Building to fly peace banner and kiss
ONP Summary
Two people climbed to approximately 1,454 feet atop the Empire State Building's antenna in New York City on July 1, displaying a large banner that read 'When the power of love beats the love of power, the world will know peace.' During their roughly ten-minute presence at the summit, one climber appeared to propose marriage to the other.
Progressive: Progressive-leaning outlets used the term 'protesters' to frame the climb as a political demonstration for peace, with some also emphasizing the romantic element of the proposal that occurred at the summit.
Moderate: Centrist outlets reported the event factually, describing the climbing feat, the peace message on the banner, and the engagement moment without additional editorializing about the stunt's broader significance.
Conservative: Conservative-leaning outlets employed sensational language—calling the climb a 'wild scene' and describing the climbers as 'daredevils'—while some outlets explicitly derided the peace message as 'cringe' rather than treating it as earnest activism.
