Bias is whenever somebody bases their answer on something they believe in instead of going straight with the facts.

Bias is your opinion on something. Whether its something in the news or something small like liking Skippy peanut butter more than Jif peanut butter. Deciding what you like and telling people why you like it to influence them is bias. That is why you do not want to get information from biased sites because they are likely contributing all the good information to the side that they like. Different people have different biases.
Hope this helps!
