Answer 1

Bias
Hypocrite

Answer 2

There is not a single word to describe double standards, have a search using "double standards" on www.wikipedia.org. Some people say hypocrite but wiki says
There is a subtle distinction to be made between double standards and hypocrisy, which implies the stated or presumed acceptance of a single standard, but which in practice may be disregarded. If a man believes it is his right to have extra-marital affairs, but that his wife does not have such a right, he holds a double standard. A man who condemns all adultery while maintaining a mistress is a hypocrite

Answer 3

'Hypocrite' is the best word to use. The exact defenition of a 'hypocrite' is:

a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.

or

a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, esp. one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.

Answer 4

Two-faced or wishy-washy maybe?
