"Judge Reviewed in Affirmative Action Case"?

Reviewed? That's a neutral term, isn't it? One may be reviewed either favorably or unfavorably, no?

I think the title quoted above is a remarkably neutral indication of the contents of the AP story it headlines:

The federal judge whose majority opinion sent an important affirmative action case to the Supreme Court improperly intervened in the appeal, a colleague said in an internal review that did not recommend any punishment....

"Review Shows Judge Acted Improperly": wouldn't that be a much, much, much better headline?

Oh. Wait. The judge "improperly intervened" in the Michigan University affirmative-action case — the outcome of which ruled in favor of the university. Ah. Oh. Now I understand........
