biased

When someone's opinions or views are biased, they tend to favor one side over another.

Imagine you're watching a news report about politics. You might expect it to be balanced and fair, but if the reporter keeps mentioning only the negative things about one party, it could be that their reporting is biased in favor of the other party. This means they're presenting information in a way that's slanted towards a particular point of view.

The word "biased" can also refer to something or someone being influenced by personal feelings or prejudices. For example, if you think that an advertisement is trying to sell you on a product because it looks cool, but the price is really high, then you might say the ad is biased towards making a sale rather than giving you a fair opinion about the product.

In some cases, "biased" can also be used to describe something that's not neutral or impartial. For instance, if you're choosing between two job applicants and one of them is your friend, it could look like you're being biased in favor of your friend. But usually when we say someone or something is biased, we mean that they're giving unfair preference to one side over the other.
