  • In Greek mythology, Bias was a brother of Melampus. He received one third of the Kingdom of Argos. He was married to Pero, daughter of Neleus, who was thus his own cousin. Together, they had two children; Anaxibia, wife of Pelias, and Talaus, who succeeded his father as king of a partitioned Argos. The Biaid-ruled section of Argos was reunited with the death of Bias' great-great-grandson, King Cyanippus, who bequeathed his share to the Aegyptiad branch (who had already recovered the inheritance of Melampus in the previous generation).
  • Bias is widely recognised by 100 percent of the world population as the most efficient way of presenting facts and information ever. Bias, also known as the truth, is superior in every way to neutrality, which involves presenting truth and lies alongside each other as though they are equal. The inevitable triumph of bias over all other methods of presenting data has been shown by the fact that Uncyclopedia's popularity has soared tenfold above that of Wikipedia every day for the last ten years.
  • Bias is distortion in the perception of the world such that some elements appear larger or more important and others are diminished or obscured.
  • Bias is political or other prejudice mainly used by those you personally disagree with and seedy media. It is also used commonly in propaganda and other means of getting people to do what you want. Bias is someone's or something's inclination towards a specific object or point of view. Being biased towards a specific side of debate often gets in way of objectively assessing the issues at hand. For example, parts of the mainstream media, especially Fox News, tends to have a Conservative bias, giving more attention to Conservatives and their views than to Liberals or anyone else.
  • "In truth, everything about the war had become politicized and "spun" long before we ever got to Baghdad. Everyone had his or her own agenda, which he or she then tried to piggyback onto whatever was happening. Even the excellent new translation of The Epic of Gilgamesh couldn't resist a footnote describing how the ancient king had preemptively attacked a monster, and how we might learn a lesson from that. pg 195, 'Thieves of Baghdad', Bogdanos and Patrick, on the mission to retrieve looted antiquities for the Iraq Museum.
  • Tube amp bias typically refers to the amount of electrons passing through the grid of a vacuum tube. This phenomenon also changes as vacuum tubes warm up. In the context of the Fender Mustang Amps, Fender Fuse Software, and Remuda App, it refers to an emulation of the amp model's tube being colder or hotter state. * LOW: emulates colder tubes for a cleaner sound * HIGH: emulates hotter tubes for a more tube-distorted sound

  • Bias is political or other prejudice mainly used by those you personally disagree with and seedy media. It is also used commonly in propaganda and other means of getting people to do what you want. Bias is someone's or something's inclination towards a specific object or point of view. Being biased towards a specific side of debate often gets in way of objectively assessing the issues at hand. For example, parts of the mainstream media, especially Fox News, tends to have a Conservative bias, giving more attention to Conservatives and their views than to Liberals or anyone else. Most conservative Republicans view everything that isn't far right as biased, just as some liberals view anything that isn't far left as biased. If a person's thinking is biased, they're being subjective.

Even the excellent new translation of The Epic of Gilgamesh couldn't resist a footnote describing how the ancient king had preemptively attacked a monster, and how we might learn a lesson from that. On the museum front, we had been trying to overcome all the initial confusion, and find the middle course, working for almost a month to convince both the 'everything was taken' critics and the 'nothing was taken' skeptics that both were wrong and that neither was serving any constructive purpose. We learned that the intensity with which people held on to the inflated numbers and certain other misperceptions was usually in direct proportion to the intensity of that person's opposition to the war. Similarly, the belief that nothing was stolen tended to rise in direct proportion to the intensity of that person's support for the war. As usual, the truth was somewhere in the middle." pg 195, 'Thieves of Baghdad', Bogdanos and Patrick, on the mission to retrieve looted antiquities for the Iraq Museum.
