Your alleged 'spin' article is not favorable to the women, in fact, it makes her look totally crazy.
Now, if you are making an argument for semantically slanted and selective language..you got one. However, the exact same thing can be said of the first article.
Example: Article 1---
When he tried to shut the door, Ivery allegedly forced her way in and Cotter threw a punch . Surveillance footage of the incident reported on by the Daily Mail shows the staffer’s punch caused the woman to hit the floor.
Article 2---The manager said he attempted to close his office door, according to the police report, but Ivery entered. The surveillance footage shows the manager punching her once in the face, with Ivery falling to the ground.
Article 1 uses the phrase "forced her way in" vs Article 2's "The manager said he attempted to close his office door, according to the police report, but Ivery entered"
'forced her way in' certainly has a higher semantic load than 'Ivery entered'.
Of course, the second article using the woman's name--'Ivery falling to the ground'--humanizes her and is a more subtly sensitive usage....it might engender sympathy for 'Ivery'
But as spin rising to the level you are alleging? Nah..not seeing it. Just the usual stylistic differences between writers and the demographic being courted.
