• “A well-documented, even-tempered and witty answer, I might say antidote, to such toxic recent bestsellers as Bernard Goldberg's "Bias. ...
• Is media bias keeping us from getting the whole story? If so, who is at fault? Is it the liberals who are purported to be running the newsrooms, television and radio stations of this country, duping an unsuspecting public into mistaking their party line for news? Or is it the conservatives who have identified media bias as a reliably inflammatory rallying cry around which to consolidate their political base as they cynically “work the refs?” The media has become so pervasive in our lives that regardless of exactly where on the ideological fence you sit, the question of media bias has become all but unavoidable.
• Most of the criticism (and anger) has so far emanated from the political Right, which has offered us the rather unconvincing argument that a systematic Left bias is destroying the quality of news and debate in our country today. ...
• What Liberal Media? confronts the question of liberal bias and, in so doing, provides a sharp and utterly convincing assessment of the realities of political bias in the news. ... The fact that conservatives howl so much louder and more effectively than liberals is one significant reason that big media is always on its guard for “liberal” bias but gives conservative bias a free pass.

• How a bias circuit works.
•  Here we have a typical Fender bias circuit. ... The Red/Yellow wire is grounded to the chassis to complete the bias circuit.
•  The AC voltage from the power transformer Red/Blue wire then goes to the 470 ohm bias range resistor which knocks the AC voltage down a bit. ...
•  The AC voltage then enters the bias diode and gets rectified into a fluctuating negative DC voltage. ...
•  The negative DC voltage is then smoothed out by the 47uf at 100 volt bias capacitor.
•  The smoothed negative DC bias voltage then enters the bias pot. The other end of the bias pot has a 27K 1/2 watt resistor that is soldered to ground. ...
• The bias pot and 27K resistor form a voltage divider. The middle wiper of the bias pot sweeps across the 10K resistance of the bias pot and selects the voltage that gets sent to the power tubes. ...
•  The negative voltage then leaves the middle wiper of the bias pot and goes to a junction where two 220K 1/2 watt resistors are soldered together at one end. The bias voltage goes through each of the 220K resistors and appears at the two junctions. ...
• Usually the bias voltage goes through a 1. ...
•  That is the complete bias Circuit complete from transformer to power tube.
• * The 470 ohm bias range resistor value determines the sweep of the bias pot. If you want to change the voltage range that the bias pot sweeps across, change this resistor up or down in value to move the sweep up or down. A smaller value will give you more negative voltage in the bias circuit. ...

• * BIAS *.
• BIAS - Any mental condition that would prevent a judge or juror from being fair and impartial is called bias. ...
• Justice requires that the judge and jury should have no bias for or against any individual; and that his mind should be perfectly free to act as the law requires and a judge or juror can ofetn be removed or disqualified if bias can be properly shown, according to the requirements of the particular jurisdiction.
• There is, however, one kind of bias which the courts suffer to influence them in their judgments it is a bias favorable to a class of cases or persons, as distinguished from an individual case or person. ... A bias is felt on account of convenience. ...

Among these were: girls approach technology differently, lack of role models, games are geared toward male interests, gender bias in classroom settings, and parental influences (Eck et al. ... While gender bias continues to be in issue in today's classrooms, new research suggests that several additional factors have significant influence over girls' interest in technology including: teacher preparation and classroom use, unequal treatment by computer instructors, "computer phobic" labels.
• Gender bias is still prevalent in today's classrooms.

• It is but just to remark in favor of the latter description, that as our situation is universally admitted to be peculiarly critical, and to require indispensably that something should be done for our relief, the predetermined patron of what has been actually done may have taken his bias from the weight of these considerations, as well as from considerations of a sinister nature.
• If the Portuguese were biassed by any particular views, another bias equally powerful may have deflected the Frenchman from the truth, for they evidently write with contrary designs: the Portuguese, to make their mission seem more necessary, endeavoured to place in the strongest light the differences between the Abyssinian and Roman Church; but the great Ludolfus, laying hold on the advantage, reduced these later writers to prove their conformity.

• Positive-outcome (also known as "publication") bias refers to the fact that research with positive outcomes is much more likely to be published than that with negative outcomes. ... We, therefore, examined all research submitted for presentation at a national meeting to determine if positive-outcome bias was present in this process and what characteristics determined successful subsequent publication in a peer review journal. ...
• Positive-outcome bias was evident for all studies submitted before any screening (Figure). ... At the level of publication of full manuscripts, the same bias again appeared. A funnel plot (Figure) shows the absence of expected negative effect sizes at low sample size, which is the hallmark of positive-outcome bias. ...

• Reporting a New Delhi Bias?.
• Thus, the potential bias in the content of news coverage attributable to the use of official government or expert sources is very real. ...
• This bias matters for two reasons. ...
• When popular political commentators charge that political news coverage is biased, they typically do so without presenting systematic, empirical evidence of bias. ... Even in the absence of convincing systematic evidence, charging bias is simply too attractive a polemical device to forego. Although they do so much less frequently, scholars may also charge that political news coverage is biased, and they too typically fail to offer systematic evidence of bias. Where charges of bias made by popular political commentators may differ from those made by scholars is that the former are heavily discounted as attempts to mold public opinion, while the latter are normally accorded greater credibility as factual. In any case, and with whatever purpose, such claims of bias are generally not supported by systematic evidence, thus weakening any charge that is presented. ...
• The empirical research described in this paper was prompted by a single instance in which bias in political news coverage was charged by probably the most renowned and prolific scholar of politics in Sri Lanka, K. ... The smaller countries of South Asia, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, have all had to live with the reality that the principal news center in South Asia is Delhi, and that reporting often carries a Delhi flavor, if not a Delhi bias. (1995: 330) Whether the news coverage of South Asia is subject to a pro-Indian ‘New Delhi’ bias is an interesting question; a pro-Indian bias in international news coverage would represent another arrow in India’s quiver of foreign policy power resources. ...
• While de Silva offers no systematic evidence of bias, the proposition is plausible for two reasons. ...
• If the bulk of the international news coverage of South Asia comes from reporters posted in New Delhi, then that would explain any consequent pro-Indian bias. ... Is there a pro-Indian ‘New Delhi’ bias in news coverage of South Asia? Our paper presents empirical findings which answer that question. ...
• Investigating the empirical question is also important because it may reveal something of the underlying sources of bias in other international news coverage. Critics of the news media typically identify two sources of bias. First, they attribute the bias they detect in news coverage to the political ideological orientations of reporters, editors, and news media executives (Demertzis 1999). ...
