| Summary/Abstract |
The charge that Israel's incursion into Gaza led to a "disproportionate" use of force against Palestinians, issued by the likes of former President Jimmy Carter and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, met with surprising rhetorical resistance in unexpected quarters (on this continent, at least) in the first few weeks after Israel began its operation at the end of December. "Anyone who knows anything about the Middle East knows that proportionality is madness," wrote Richard Cohen of the Washington Post, who is better known as a critic than as a defender of Israel. "These calls for proportionality rankle. They fall on my ears not as genteel expressions of fairness, some ditsy Marquess of Queensbury idea of war, but as ugly sentiments pregnant with antipathy toward the only state in the Middle East that is a democracy."

| Summary/Abstract |
In his 2006 commencement address at Tufts University, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr., the publisher of The New York Times, praised his newspaper for adopting a journalism reflecting the "courage of our own convictions." He meant it as a compliment, but his words had a different meaning to those who have had occasion to suspect that the news coverage of the Times is not infrequently driven by an agenda-its "own convictions"-rather than objectivity. Did the Times practice agenda journalism in its coverage of the recent fighting in Gaza? Many readers apparently thought so, and the Times made repeated attempts to rebut their adverse comments. The paper's managing editor, the chief of its Jerusalem bureau, and its public editor all published articles or interviews seeking to absolve themselves, or the Times, from the charge that its published reportage had tilted toward the side of the Palestinians.

It did so after the PLO, which controlled most of the Lebanese south and had its headquarters in the western half of Beirut, had directed rocket and artillery fire at northern Israel.The PLO, for its part , was responding to an Israeli air strike on Beirut, carried out in retaliation for an attempted Palestinian assassination of the Israeli ambassador in London.
