The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

While the US should try to secure the release of these prisoners, it must first work to stop Russia from consistently arresting Americans on trumped-up charges to force geopolitical confrontations. These prisoner swaps are never fair deals, as they lead to Russian criminals being put back on the street. Accepting them just plays into the Kremlin's hands.

Daily Mail

Pro-establishment narrative

Despite Russia’s illegal war on Ukraine, the US has remained engaged with Russia to secure the release of Gershkovich and other prisoners. Although it’s unfortunate the US might have to trade actual criminals for people being held on false charges — as in the Griner case — the US will do whatever it takes to bring Gershkovich home.
