Everything in the world is biased... I think.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary dictates the adjective "biased" as "exhibiting or characterized by [...] a settled and often prejudiced outlook to something". Assuming that this is the correct definition (or not... this is an example of a bias as well), I can see that everything in the world is biased. We all have our different qualities, tastes, and ideas of others on this beautiful space vessel we call Planet Earth. Religion, racism, and the media are good examples of bias.
What do you think? If you disagree, tell me why.

We all see the world as we chose to see it and somethings the way we choose to see it, might be carefully omitting certain facts. There are a lot of things, in fact I would have to agree that all things could be biased. There is no completely true facts, there are just what people see and if three different people see the same event, there are chances that we'll see three different things.
Perspective will skew pretty much everything. There are times where we aren't really trying to be biased, we can only go with what we know but what we know can be incomplete at best. Or indeed, what we know itself can really be formed through the most biased sources. The world is all about perception, perspective, and what we see and we don't see it all.
