How can you find some sort of Bias in a primary internet source?

How am I suppose to write a paragraph on a primary source, who what bias? I'm not sure. Need help|||Primary source is a term used in a number of disciplines to describe source material that is closest to the person, information, period, or idea being studied.[1]





In historiography, a primary source (also called original source) is an artifact, a document, a recording, or other source of information that was created at the time under study. If created by a human source, then a source with direct personal knowledge of the events being described. It serves as an original source of information about the topic. Similar definitions are used in library science, and other areas of scholarship. In journalism, a primary source can be a person with direct knowledge of a situation, or a document created by such a person.





Primary sources are distinguished from secondary sources, which cite, comment on, or build upon primary sources, though the distinction is not a sharp one. "Primary" and "secondary" are relative terms, with sources judged primary or secondary according to specific historical contexts and what is being studied
