Allison · Answer 2

Bias is the tendency to represent some ideas as better than others.

Explanation:

Bias is the tendency to support one side of an argument against another one without having sound reasons or good arguments to do so. This is particularly the case when a speaker is claiming to be objective. In such cases, the speaker provides a view that is skewed and that does not fairly represent both sides of the argument.
