"Yesterday afternoon two men travelling on a motorbike slammed into a U-turning police patrol car in the Upper Buller Gorge. They are both in hospital seriously injured, one of them in a critical condition."
I copied this from a news item on my home page, 'NZ City'. As soon as I saw it I sent off an email expressing my disgust at the bias of the report. I suggested that the item should have read, "Police car U-turns into path of motorcycle carrying two passengers".
I am waiting for a reply.
