This pattern of comment includes accusing someone of “being bias” (instead of “biased”) and implies that noticing bias is somehow a debate winning move.
Bias is a thing, having bias means you are biased towards one position or away from another. You should be biased in many ways - e.g. preferring human survival to human extinction would be a reasonable bias. Preferring the word of your friend to the word of a stranger, another.
