Interpretations and bias opinions.
Interpretations is when sources say different things about the same event eg William the duke of Normandy was a brave warrior and fought all day and night , William was brave warrior who fought most of the day.
Bias is when someone said something to make it sound not as bad as it actually is example, Manchester United played rubbish last night they didn’t deserve to win, Manchester United played brilliantly last night they deserved to win by more then three.
