The following information is about Bias.
Bias Defined
An inclination that influences judgment. The term "bias" may be used in a merely descriptive way to mean an inclination, but more often it is used as a term of evaluation to mean an inclination that influences judgment and ought not to. "Prejudice" is a synonym for bias in this pejorative sense. However, bias that cannot be completely eliminated in the work of scientific investigators, in contrast to bias or prejudice that can and should be eliminated, is also an important topic in research ethics. For example, the way disciplinary training inclines people to interpret the results of an experiment in terms of the established categories of that discipline is a feature of research, and one that must be taken into account in assessing responsible behavior in research. Since undertaking research requires undergoing advanced training in a discipline, it is impossible to eliminate all preconceptions from one's interpretation of the data. Of course, researchers may hold disciplinary biases and still be unbiased in other respects. For example, they may be impartial on the question of the truth or falsity of a particular research hypothesis.

- 'Obama's speech to Muslim world distorted the historical legitimacy of Israel as the State of Jews' by Martin Peretz in The New Republic: What is most brazen or, at best, bizarre in Obama's historical recitation is the stark omission of the whole Zionist enterprise. Instead, he chose to understand the Jewish presence in Palestine as a sort of restitution for the Holocaust. He distorted what actually happened. First off was to diminish the determination of the Jewish people through the ages to reclaim their homeland, to bring its very earth out of desolation and restore its dispersed sons and daughters to Zion--all this not as a reparation, but as a right. By the time World War II--before the Holocaust, that is--began, there were already more than 500,000 Jews in Palestine. Most of them had arrived as their palpable reply to the 1917 Balfour Declaration, to the approval by the League of Nations of a British mandate for a Jewish homeland in Palestine in 1922, to the recommendation s of the Peel Commission for a two-state settlement. Obama omitted this because it might muddle the clarity of the equal-claim argument.
- A 'coup' in Honduras? Nonsense. | csmonitor.com
- US treads careful path on Honduras. US President Barack Obama has called the removal of Honduran president Manuel Zelaya on Sunday a "coup".: So while Washington 9;s reaction has been strong and swift, when it comes to statements, its actions have so far been measured. This is a signal that Washington is not keen to use its clout to help Mr Zelaya return to power, shying away from any action that could be seen as interventionis m in a region where the US has a long, complex history. The reaction is also in line with the promise President Obama made to Latin America at the Organization of American States summit in April, not to dictate US policy on the continent anymore but to be an equal partner.
