From the first game of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs on April 22, 1876, tens of thousands of men have played professional sports in the Big Four-baseball, basketball, football, and hockey-major professional sports leagues in the United States. Until April 29, 2013, however, when National Basketball Association center Jason Collins came out publicly as gay, not one of those tens of thousands of men had ever come out to the public as gay while an active player on a major league roster. Is it because gay men can't jump (or throw, or catch, or skate)? Or is it more likely that the costs of coming out are too high?

Bias seems to be everywhere. Biased media outlets decisively influence the political opinions and votes of millions of people. Discriminatory policies favor some racial groups over others. We tend to judge ourselves more favorably than our peers, and more favorably than the evidence warrants. But what is it, exactly, for a person or thing to be biased?
In Bias: A Philosophical Study, Thomas Kelly explores a number of foundational questions about the nature of bias and our practices of attributing it. He develops a general framework for thinking about bias, the norm theoretic account, and shows how that framework illuminates much that we say and think about bias in both everyday life and the sciences. He argues provocatively that both morality and rationality sometimes require us to be biased; that groups of people can be biased even

How do news outlets choose which crimes to report on–and does it matter? Can adverts really change how we think and behave? Underpinning these questions looms the spectre of bias; the hidden force that frames our thinking and skews the facts. Tackling the complex subject of bias head on, Skewed investigates the hidden messages we absorb from birth. Looking closely at what the research can tell us, Caryn Franklin and Professor Keon West explain how our inner worlds are shaped by false information, media trends, and the brain's preference for patterns and stereotypes. Through conversations with a diverse range of voices–from cognitive psychologists to activists and entertainers–Caryn and Keon offer a vision for an alternative future; a world in which we recognise and manage bias, and one in which diversity and difference can truly flourish.

Racism: Confronting Injustice, Bias and Inequality by Scientific American Editors

The murder of George Floyd in May 2020 brought fierce and renewed tensions to issues of anti-Black racism and police violence in the US. The outcry and eruption of protests following Floyd's killing led to a long-overdue reckoning across industries, in politics and in society to confront white supremacy and racial injustice. For Scientific American, part of this reckoning is to make a commitment to improved and wider reporting of racism and to elevate Black and Brown voices. In this eBook, we've gathered some of our most important coverage to date, including how systemic racism is linked to COVID-19 and other public health crises, injustice in law enforcement practices and bias in academia and the scientific community.

Media consultant and former Bush Administration Press Secretary Ari Fleischer accuses American journalism of becoming the domain of the woke young urban elite—a class which has no respect or tolerance for dissenting views. According to Ari Fleischer, there is a new elite in America—the Journalist Class. Today's mainstream media is dominated by younger, urban college grads who write stories for younger, urban college grads. These journalists haven't just slanted the media. They've pulled the whole Democrat party over to their own worldview, he contends. This is the true source of anger in the country and the growing sense that media elites look down on everyone else.
Because they do. If you're older or not urban or not a college grad, the Journalist Class doesn't think you're worth impressing. But there's a problem for progressives—the Journalist Class's point of view does not persuade enough people to win elections. Before 2016, they tried to appeal to those citizens living in what they call "flyover country," but after 2016 they began writing only for each other. The way this narrow worldview has constricted news and cultural language is intellectually impoverishing for a country as diverse and varied as the United States. In Suppression, Deception, Snobbery, and Bias Fleischer argues that the new media elite is shutting down the very conversations which we must have to bring the country back together.

John W. Houghton, "Culture and Currency: Cultural Bias in Monetary Theory and Policy"

The aim of this book is to shed light on how people come to hold opposing views, how these views solidify into the sides of a debate and how one side becomes the dominant view. Why, as all have access to the same nature, physical and human, don't they come to the same conclusions? Or, if each individual is different, why don't they come to wholly different conclusions? A sociology of perception must explain both why the world resembles neither an epistemological Tower of Babel in which communication between individuals is impossible nor a homogenized blend in which communication is no longer necessary. t
