Where the framing diverges

Coverage across the center and right outlets is largely consistent and factual, with minor differences in detail. The center source (BBC) notes that Romo performed poorly on field sobriety tests, adding a specific detail about the arrest process.

Neither source uses notably evaluative or loaded language; both present the event in a straightforward, factual manner.
