Could you give some examples?
If anything, I think it's less bias and more necessity. Thunderclan is almost always in the spotlight, so they have to seem appealing to people in order to keep reading the books. For example, they are portrayed as one of the most heroic Clans, but they have to be in order to keep many readers interested...
They also endure many hardships, and these hardships are seen more than any ones of the other Clans because they are the POV. In fact, one early comment by the authors cited Thunderclan as the unluckiest clan in the books, but without them being that way, their life would be dull and boring. And unfortunately, that's the way the books have to be, as long as Thunderclan remains the focal Clan.

I don't really see that as bias and more as convenience. The Erins come out with a new book almost every 6 months, and for several busy authors who have more important things in their lives, keeping track of 4-5 clans constantly and switching clans each series must be a hassle.
They already do a bad enough job with the super editions and novellas at times, I can't imagine how messed up taking turns giving each clan spotlight would be. It's would be a disaster.
I think it's best for everyone to just let the Erins stick with ThunderClan, just so mistakes won't get any worse.

Well remember when Blackstar questioned why all three chosen cats, the three, were only from ThunderClan? Yeah.

It's too bad that Erins told every series from ThunderClan's POV. Shame.

I love all of the Clans. So I think it's safe for me to say that if the Erins want to keep people interested they should add a little more variety in the POVs.

And unfortunately, that's the way the books have to be, as long as Thunderclan remains the focal Clan. Exactly. It seems like everything bad always happens to ThunderClan (and the other Clans complain about it, which is a nice touch) but that's because we see their point of view most of the time. We don't see ShadowClan's POV during the great sickness; we only see ThunderClan during the Great Battle, etc. etc. Because we see ThunderClan the most, we get to see the bad things that happen to them, and we forget about everything the other Clans have to go through as well. For example, we always talk about Tigerstar threatening ThunderClan during TPB, but we almost never consider what ShadowClan was going through with Brokentail. A good novella idea would be Runningnose's POV during Brokentail's rein, imo. Although that's not to be said that ThunderClan doesn't get the worst of it BECAUSE they are the majority of the POV. And I love how the other clans complain about it. Firestar leads LionClan; Bramblestar gets Midnight's vision and is the leader of the Quest; all Three are from ThunderClan, and the list goes on. Exciting things have to happen to ThunderClan more because if it didn't, the books would just be ThunderClan thinking about what they heard at the Gatherings.I wouldn't call it bias, exactly, but just making them more important in the Warriors world because, for the reader, they are.

I think that the Erins should show more "Love" to the other clans, and put them in the spotlight for once. Maybe Thunderclan needs a break?

Boring. Uncreative. Just plain bad.
