A police officer accidentally shoots and kills a man in his own home. The man was not doing anything wrong. When the story is reported, one television station reports that the man had marijuana in his home, while other stations do not report this information. What kind of bias does this represent?

Answer: That specific T.V. station was biased towards the police.

Explanation:The man having marijuana in his house would have made it seem like he was influenced by the drugs and therefore making the police officer more in the right to have shot him.
