Biased? Badly so, indeed (3-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

one-sided

'biased?' is the definition.
('one-sided' can be a synonym of 'biased')

'badly so indeed' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'so'+'indeed'='soindeed'
'soindeed' with letters rearranged gives 'ONE-SIDED'.

(Other definitions for one-sided that I've seen before include "So denied being unfair or biased" , "Partial" , "Unfair, unequal" , "Indeed so (anag.)" , "Grossly unequal; biased" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
