Basically, bias is when some person/company (usually headed by some rich white man who makes more money than most African countries) puts a swing on the way they present news or information to their public. It usually reflects the company/person's own personal views/morals/ethics, even though their audience may not agree. Media bias is sometimes really hard to see, especially if you're not looking for it.
Bias: to cause partiality or favoritism. - From "The Randomhouse Dictionary of the English Language, Second Edition" (that giant one in the library that no one uses ... I bet that if you go and look right now, it's still open to that page ... GO CHECK!!)
