The questions raised in Your post are important and some effort has been made throughout human history to arrive at meaningful answers. Krishnamurti was a great midwife to reflect on bias - as it is a standard aspect of the human condition. Confirmation bias is a form of self preservation - one creates one's own predictive programming. The example of a woman asking her boyfriend/better half before going out for dinner: "Do I look good?" Even if that would not be entirely truthful, who would not respond with "You are looking great, Honey!"
Regarding introspection - it is only possible in the absence of fear. Fear about what truthful introspection will bring to the surface.
Thank You for Your insights.
