    Bias is a preference that inhibits impartial judgement. This means reality cannot be biased. Including facts in and of itself is never biased, only excluding facts can be.

    The true state of things is not a partial interpretation, it’s an impartial one. A preference or inclination does not mean bias. The preference towards resources that agree with a round earth is not bias, that’s a preference towards impartial, reality-based resources.

    You’re conflating inclination with bias. Anytime anything reads as preferring one side over the other, you think it’s biased. Sometimes, some people are wrong. Saying those people are wrong is not a bias, it’s a statement of fact.
