"B!AS"

*Bias is a personal opinion about a topic. You can either have a positive or negative bias towards your opinion.

The media always has Bias going on, any story written will have a negative or positive bias spin on it, because its how the writter of the story really feels about a topic. Usually, a negative bias gives off the feeling that what is going on is very bad. Positive bias gives off the feeling that there is a chance for something good to come out of something bad.

Examples of different bias types are:

*Ethnic or racial bias, including racism, nationalism.
*Corporate bias, including advertising, coverage of political campaigns in such a way as to favor or vilify corporate interests, and the reporting of issues to favor the interests of the owners of the news media or its advertisers.
*Class bias, including bias favoring one social class and bias ignoring (or exaggerating) social or class divisions.
*Political bias, including bias in favor of or against a particular political party, candidate, or policy.
*Religious bias, including bias in which one religious viewpoint is given preference over others.
*Sensationalism, which is bias in favor of the exceptional over the ordinary. This includes the practice whereby exceptional news may be overemphasized, distorted or fabricated to boost commercial ratings; entertainment news is often subjected to sensationalism.
