The headlines tell the story

In this case, the headlines in the Washington Post and Washington Times tell the story of who's biased. Compare:

The Times ran 18 paragraphs of an AP dispatch under the headline:
U.N. Middle East diplomat scolds Arafat.
To me, this indeed captures the gist of the story.

The "comPost" had only an "In Brief" article under the headline:
Remarks by U.N. Envoy Have Palestinians Angry.
They didn't even say what the remarks were!! Nor does the article contain any quotes, direct or indirect, from the UN official. Both the headline and the text proclaim the Palestinian point of view. (See alert on home page for more on this story.)

Unfortunately, comparatively few people in Washington read the Washington Times, while the majority who read the Post, which surely includes most government leaders, get only part of the story. How tragic!
