Article: Israel unveils plans to build more homes

Date: Thursday, December 2, 2010

This article reports on Israeli plans to build homes in its capital city.

Bias. Inaccuracies: The article refers to "Arab east Jerusalem," a non-existent entity.

Opinion: The writer expressed the opinion that the plan would hinder efforts to revive peace talks.

Misleading. Omission: The writer referred to peace talks being suspended after Israel refused to extend a building freeze, which was inaccurately referred to as partial. It omitted to note the Arabs refused to enter talks until the freeze was nearly over and announced they would leave even before they briefly entered them.
