What is an example of a biased sample?

Why can biased sample can give misleading result?
An example of bias: Taking a survey about who likes music and who does not, while standing by the door of a CD store. This is biased because if you are by a music store, most of the people there that you survey will like music. The results will not be completely random, so they will not accurately show what that percentage of the population really thinks about music.
Can one correct for bias by using a large sample?
Large samples can be just as biased as small samples, depending upon how they are selected. For example, you want to do a survey to see how popular the President is, but you only interview men, refusing to interview women. No matter how many men you interview, this bias still exists. A sample of a million men is still biased if you have excluded women. (Although the data are still significant as long as you recognize that the bias exists.)
