How can you eliminate bias?

It is impossible to totally eliminate bias, since it is to a certain extent built in to our language and patterns of thought. However, by examining those preconceptions and being aware of them, we can minimize bias.

Is DC biased is forward biased?

Forward bias implies that your device is sensitive to bias
direction and you have selected one of them. There is also an
implication that it is probably a steady bias. So forward bias
generally implies a dc bias in a selected direction called forward
bias in the device you are looking at.
Now the question is actually put the other way round. DC bias
means a steady state bias. Whether or not it is forward or reverse
bias depends on whether or not the device is sensitive to the
direction of bias. If it is not sensitive to that, it isn't forward
bias (or reverse bias either). If it is sensitive to bias
direction, then it would be in a state of either forward bias or
reverse bias, and you would need more information in order to say
which one.
So, finally, the phrase "dc biased" is NOT the same thing as
"forward biased".
