What are some examples of bias language?

Like what are some words / pharses that would suggest being bias?|||Blankety Blank is a thought provoking femenist writer. Feminist implies that she is only thought provoking in the particular realm of feminist writing and nowhere else. Biased language is insidious in that it is often buried in a sentence (not the subject or verb, but some sort of modifier).


Another example: The greatest black poet is Mister Blackguy. The phrase limits the judging of Mister Blackguy's poetry to only other black writers instead of poets in general.


'I think' in media is not really biased, because it is being clearly expressed that the idea is an opinion. Media Bias would include limiting covered stories to promote a particular agenda, but that's not language.


Language can be judged biased if it presupposes an idea or concept to be true.|||'ohh no she diddnt' and 'stupid asians taking over the world'|||"I think." because if your like showing news, it's about the news...Your thoughts would make people hear what you think, not what the news is about.
