Media Bias
Posted By Ardellis on September 14, 2007
Sometimes you can really tell the political affiliation of a radio station.
Yesterday morning, on the drive in to work, Andy and I were listening to WBZ, the local AM news station (they do traffic reports every ten minutes, you see), and they covered the story that the State Police will be taking over investigations of homicides that occur within Boston but on state property (such as inside the subway system). The newscaster said that this will take some of the pressure off the BPD and let them concentrate on other areas.
When I got to work, I switched on WFNX, the alternative music station I usually listen to during the day, and their news guy covered the same story at the top of the hour. Only he mentioned something that WBZ never did: that the BPD is seriously unhappy with the whole idea.
Which, as the granddaughter of a cop, I had already guessed.
Funny how staunchly conservative WBZ just sort of left that part out, eh?
