This paper examines media criticism of the Israeli Supreme Court from 2002 to 2011 in two newspapers. We analyze the nature and patterns of press criticism in different contexts by 1) distinguishing between diffuse and specific criticism and 2) by analyzing criticism separately from political framing and the tone of the article. We find that the increase in diffuse criticism and political framing over time was often balanced with counter‐criticism, resulting in a neutral or even positive tone toward the Court. This complex picture enables a more sophisticated understanding of the nature and implications of criticism of supreme courts in the press.

重要报道：媒体如何批评最高法院-来自以色列的证据

本文研究了两家报纸在2002年至2011年期间对以色列最高法院的媒体批评。我们通过以下两种情况分析新闻批评的性质和模式：1）区分散布批评与特定批评； 2）通过与政治框架和文章语气分开分析批评。我们发现，随着时间的流逝，散布批评和政治框架的增加通常与反批评相平衡，从而导致对法院的中立甚至积极态度。这种复杂的情况使人们对新闻界对最高法院的批评的性质和含义有了更深入的了解。
