Bias is to present information selectively based on personal interests and beliefs.
About Bias
- Bias causes people to talk, write and think about things they are interested in and avoid those they are not.
- Bias can cause people to only look for evidence that agrees with their beliefs and ignore evidence against their beliefs. This can then result in presenting a one-sided argument to others in an attempt to convince them.
