Examples of implicit media bias that should make you stop and think
from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

Allegations of political bias happen every day just about everywhere you look, but there are other examples of bias that are worth a hard look as well -- like how Black and white people are often portrayed in similar crime stories. We wanted to take a closer look at implicit bias, what it looks like, and why it happens, so we called Timothy Welbeck, a civil rights attorney and Director for the Center of Anti-Racism Research at Temple University.
