Article: Israel OKs new homes, endangering peace talks

Date: Saturday, October 16, 2010

This article by Edmund Sanders <edsanders@tribune.com> reports on Israel building homes in its capital. It was more analysis than article, but was not labeled as analysis.

Bias. Opinion: The very title of this article expresses an opinion and the decision to publish an article about routine construction in Israel's capital shows bias.

Bias: The first word of the article is "Defying," starting the article on an inflammatory note.

Opinion: The writer expressed an opinion about pressures the Israeli prime minister was supposedly caught between. He also categorized a party in the Israeli cabinet as "conservative."
