More Times Bias

An article in today's New York Times refers to "Elliott Abrams, the fiercely pro-Israel and hard-line director of Middle East affairs at the National Security Council." (emphasis added)

While Abrams' previous writings were pro-Israel, it's questionable that he was ever "hard-line." And I'm not sure what it means to be "fiercely" pro-Israel as opposed to just pro-Israel. But isn't it interesting that the Times never referred to John Sununu, the Chief of Staff in the fiercely pro-Saudi government of the first President Bush, as "pro-Arab?" Nor has the Times ever referred to Bill Clinton as "fiercely pro-Arafat," or, for the matter, to anyone in any foreign policy context in the manner it refers to Elliott Abrams.
