AP Cheers Sharon

How is this for biased coverage?
JERUSALEM - In a bold gamble, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon asked Israel's president Monday to dissolve parliament, pushing for a quick March election just hours after deciding to leave his hard-line Likud Party and to form a new centrist party.

Sharon's decision to leave Likud sent shock waves through Israel, redrawing the political map, finalizing his transformation from hard-liner to moderate and boosting prospects of progress in peacemaking with the Palestinians.
Interesting alliteration at the end of the paragraph--"boosting" is part of it also. (A "b" is just a voiced "p.")
