Can you explain the bias comment? I don’t understand.

I think he was just pointing out that Trent is pro-NATO/Ukraine and is not really an impartial source of news/information. Don't think he was implying anything wrong with it.

I mean he might emphasize Russian failings and avoid talking much about their logistic successes, and likewise I assume he's circumspect about Ukrainian shortcomings in public. Just don't expect pure impartiality. I am also biased in favor of Ukraine.

Two lawyers can argue different sides of a case with the same set of facts. These arguments will be completely different based on what side of the case they are arguing. That's why it is important to know the bias of the person you are listening to and make sure you hear the arguments from people with different biases to get a good understanding of what is happening.
