: Disproportionate weight for or against a person, place, idea or thing, usually ignoring evidence against.

| Disproportionate weight for or against a person, place, idea or thing, usually ignoring evidence against and done in a way that is closed-minded, prejudicial, or unfair. In science, engineering or statistic it is a systematic error. In a human it is a character flaw: not in having it, but in unwillingness to recognize and correct it, once it is demonstrated. |

Bias is the more Politically Correct term for FakeNews, Liars, Frauds, double-standards and so on. This area has articles that stress things that aren't quite the whole truth, if not outright hypocrisy.
| Of course everyone has a bias (self included). My goal isn't to present both sides of everything. I trust that people know the "popular" or common understanding of things presented, so I often shortcut or omit that, and tend to focus on more the other side of the story (the less often heard). The goal in counter-balancing the myths isn't to just ad hominem the sources, it is to dilute the fallacies of either Cult of Popularity or Cult of Celebrity. To encourage people to be skeptical of all sources, and recognize when either side might not be telling the whole truth, or leading by example. |
