footballer gets cleared of r*pe, but what do quotation marks mean?
Context: Some foid accused footballer Jack Diamond of raping her. A jury of 9 women and 3 men took less than 15 minutes to clear him 
Round 1
Before the verdict, the BBC put out a headline quoting the defence, upsetting Team #MeToo:
Why is the headline framing it as if this is a fact rather than simply the wording of his lawyer?
The use of quotation marks signifies that part of the headline is a quote, and not the news outlet's editorial opinion.
Why only choose the quote that automatically makes people believe he's innocent?
They don't only pick quotes that make him look innocent.
Case in point: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wear-67861047.amp
Round 2
Once the verdict was in, /r/soccer was very keen to discuss it. Team #MenToo quickly proved themselves illiterate as well, pointing to that other 
article the BBC put out last week.
Who were they quoting though? They might be quoting the judge for all we know.
Read the article and find out
We're talking about the impression given by a headline that was deliberately curated to give off such an impression.
I shouldn't have to read the article to find out that the impression the headline gives is false; that should be reflected in the chosen headline.

They met on Tinder and she went to his house, how did this go to trial? We're told that only a tiny percentage of r*pe accusations result in charges, what made the CPS decide to go for this one?

They're prioritizing high-profile cases. This allegation took 18 months to get to court and reach a verdict, but if you get r*ped by a
you can expect it to take three years if it goes anywhere at all.

It was very funny seeing /r/soccer seethe when his red card was overturned. Also Getafe fans seem to want to keep him as well.
