1.  What type of bias is the excerpt below an example of?

2.  Read the following information on the Associated Press (AP).  What do you think of the AP's assurance that they "do not submit to censorship" in light of the fact the bureau chose not to report that the North Korean authorities spent over a week identifying North Koreans who they felt were not adequately grieving the death of their leader Kim Jong-il, and sentencing those people to 6 months in labor camps?

The Associated Press (AP) opened a news bureau in Pyongyang, North Korea this week, becoming the first international news organization with a full-time presence to cover news from North Korea in words, pictures and video.  North Korea has no free press; only state run news.  AP Executive editor Kathleen Carroll said the AP "does not submit to censorship" anywhere in the world, including North Korea. "We wouldn't have set up a bureau if we hadn't been able to operate the way we'd like to operate," Carroll said. She noted that "every country has its own challenges" and AP journalists don't wander freely in North Korea just as they couldn't wander freely while reporting on a military base in various countries. But "when we have asked permission to go places," she said, "we've been able to go." AP President and CEO Tom Curley said the Pyongyang bureau will operate under the same standards and practices as AP bureaus worldwide."Everyone at The Associated Press takes his or her responsibilities of a free and fair press with utmost seriousness," he said.
