Introduction
We can see bias very easily in the majority of media sources. It is a ver common but unethical tool to use in order to influence a person's opinions about something. This happens with very powerful people at the top of the big media companies running the news in their own way. They tend to include more opinions than facts in order to "control" what we think and feel as we register their information in our brains.

Conclusion
In conclusion, bias is not as noticeable as sensationalism because journalists make it more subtle or society is already used to that. Bias is used to persuade us into taking a specific side of a situation. It is very powerful because sometimes we don't even notice it and in an unconscious way, we start thinking the way they want us to. It is "dangerous" because it can influence in our decisions and opinions we make every single day. In a way, it is possible to shape our minds and control society.
