Opinion is what you believe. Bias is more in how you present things.
I can take and report the facts without giving my opinion. The context in which I place them and what I include/exclude can show bias. That may give insight into my opinion, but such may never be stated.
Meanwhile, opinion is directly stated and is very hard to debate with facts because it is by definition a belief. Religious dogma and political philosophies are generally of this type.
The ultimate objective is to present the main facts and let people form their own ideas. But that is much more difficult to do in practice than it is in the abstract.

 I am Mario.I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
