The Spin

Left narrative

Rubiales was caught red-handed sexually assaulting Hermoso, and he should be brought to justice. The Spanish government — with a high proportion of female legislators — is setting an example for how these cases should be handled.

Right narrative

The appropriate punishment in this case isn't the issue. The true problem is the Spanish government's recently passed laws — ironically passed in the name of equality — that have released sex offenders from prison. The Spanish people should ask if their government is applying the law equally.
