that strikes me as a bit overstated. I mean, c'mon, try writing headlines that are catchy, informative, and unbiased yourself--it's nearly impossible, so I'd cut some slack on this particular example. Since different kinds of incidents were being discussed, there's no way to have summarized that day's stories succinctly without avoiding mentioning who did the killings; the best I could come up with is "5 killed in Mideast Strife"... That said, of course stories and headlines and coverage in general is never perfect, which is why sensible interested people rely on more than one news source. For those interested in Times-bashing, btw, there's a special website set up for the purpose, by the neocon Ira Stoll (formerly of the Forward): www.smartertimes.com tb@slackcutter.com
