Expected a biased report (7)
I believe the answer is:
awaited
'expected a biased report' is the definition.
'awaited' can be an answer for 'expected' ('await' can be a synonym of 'expect'). I'm not certain of the 'a biased report' bit.
'expected a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'expected' could be 'waited' ('wait' can be a synonym of 'expect') and 'waited' is located in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for awaited that I've seen before include "Expected" , "anticipated" .)
