Bias

In journalism and media analysis, bias refers to a systematic tendency (not a one-off instance) to present information in ways that consistently favour one political perspective, ideological position, or group over others. Bias operates through language choice, source selection, emphasis, and omission rather than through outright fabrication. A biased article can report only accurate, verifiable facts and still be biased. Bias should be distinguished from framing (which is unavoidable) and from propaganda (which requires deliberate intent to manipulate).
