NYPD podcasts

When it takes less time to type one word than a 5-word phrase that means exactly the same thing. bias P Pronunciation Key (b?'?s) n. 1. line going diagonally across the grain of fabric: Cut the cloth on the bias. 2. a. preference or an inclination, especially one that inhibits impartial judgment. (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=bias) I don't think it's unfair to call the news included in the podcast biased. The producer made some very careful choices about what to mention, carefully calculated to paint the NYPD in the best light. That's fine; obviously they have a good PR person. I'm all for that. We wouldn't know much about anything if it weren't for press releases. Notice I didn't use the word I would have used for most Federal press releases coming out of NOLA at the moment, "propaganda". That's because I don't think the NYPD is trying to cover any thing up or make the situation appear otherwise than it is, nor do I think that NYPD officers have been involved in the atrocities that are being committed.

When does a podcast become biased as opposed to 'from the viewpoint of the NYPD?
