If you are distinguishing between bias and partisanship, then I would use distortions as my separating tool. Believing in a strong welfare state is a partisan POV; thinking that all poor people are lazy and shiftless so the programs can never work is biased. Thinking that conservatives are mean rotten bastards who hate the poor and want to grind them up for dog food instead of taking care of them is biased. Voting in favor of a new welfare plan opposed by conservatives is, in itself, simply partisan. But that's just my subjective way of characterizing the issue, no doubt biased in itself. ;<)
