English Explanation

偏向 (へんこう) uses the On'yomi for both kanji. 偏 (hen) means "biased" or "uneven," and 向 (kō) means "direction" or "tendency." Adding extra sounds like う or ん are incorrect. It refers to "bias, prejudice, or partiality," indicating a leaning towards one side or viewpoint, often unfairly, rather than a neutral stance.

日本語解説

偏向(へんこう)は、両漢字が音読みです。「偏」は「偏る」、「向」は「方向、傾向」を意味し、「一方に偏り、公正さを欠くこと」を指します。「へんこうう」などの余計な音は付きません。報道や意見などが、公平さを失い特定の立場に傾いている状態を表します。
