Or to put it another way: with no way to find Spanish news sites online, Spaniards would become entirely dependent on foreign news sites, which creates an incentive for foreign sites to focus more on Spanish news in Spanish.
And yes, as spaniard this is another shit from our beloved government that basically is butchering the whole entire country and giving all, blood flesh and bones, to carefully nurture his friends and family. A small and really happy minory. Everyday is his/her birthday.
It's a shame that this irony isn't more widely understood.
The party in power (Partido Popular) is on the right of Spanish politics, and sits with the right wing EPP group in the European Parliament.
For what it's worth, while the US tends to think of Europe as being socialist, I can't think of any EU countries with socialist governments except Austria and Denmark.

Off the top of my head, France, Czech Republic or Slovakia. And the _previous_ Czech government was a prime example of a left-leaning gov. in anything but name.
That's the funny thing about this. PP is a right-wing conservative ultra-catholic neolibertarian mixture. Not a trace of socialism...
This is simply crony capitalism.
I know very little about Spain situation, but even then I'd guess that it's easier than hosting it in Spain. Smaller media can certainly do that.
