Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS

- •The Tate brothers, arrested in Romania in 2022, had seen this initial procedure dismissed on technical grounds before their arrest in Miami on Saturday on a sealed warrant, a development being closely followed by Australians.
- •American lawyer Joseph McBride has framed the new British charges as "filth and slander", claiming they aim to hinder the defamation proceedings initiated by his clients, a case that the Australian public is watching with interest.
BIASES
