Al Jazeera frames Eurovision as a geopolitical battleground where the EBU's double standard (banning Russia but allowing Israel) exposes the contest's pretense of neutrality. AP and Post focus on how Spanish fans are personally affected by their country's boycott, treating it as a cultural loss rather than a principled stand.
