vies does mean bias but it is used to mean point of view..

because, what the sentence is Not Saying is: there are two biases in the discusion..they are not saying the discussion is biased...

cheers

another option is slant...the discussion is slanted in two ways..but again, unless they mean both are \"ideological\", i would go with two points of view
