Traveller much less biased, we’re told (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wayfarer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'traveller' is the definition.
(I know that wayfarer is a type of traveller)

'much less biased we're told' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'much' could be 'way' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'way' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wayfarer that I've seen before include "Traveller, especially on foot" , "Bird of passage" , "Trekker" , "Person on a journey - sailing dinghy" , "One walking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
