What is bias?

Bias is a term used to describe a tendency or preference towards a particular perspective, ideology or result, when the tendency interferes with the ability to be impartial, unprejudiced, or objective.. In other words, bias is generally seen as a 'one-sided' perspective. Journalists can be biased towards certain types of people, places and organisations.  Many journalists have been accused of bias for not representing a balanced viewpoint in a report.
