EU Serf posts on BBC bias “Is the Pope Catholic?”
Much has been said about the BBC’s approach to the question of the EU and the unequal treatment of the sophisticated cosmopolitan pro EU spokesmen and the common xenophobic types who don’t like Germans.

So the question is, does the BBC favour the EU in its coverage?

From Vote No, we have a view of the problem. Our experience is that the BBC has been institutionally sympathetic to the euro and the EU Constitution, sometimes to the point of bias.

They give 6 specific ways in which the problem shows itself
1) The wrong approach to this issue
2) The Westminster focus
3) The BBC’s record
4) The importance of reflecting public opinion
5) The BBC’s “cultural bias.”
6) Institutional problems which are particular concernsThe use of independent “experts” who are not genuinely impartial. Use of certain types of people to put the two sides’ cases: Focus on process for “yes” campaigners but issues for sceptics.

Follow the link for details and comments on this very important issue, we do after all pay for the BBC, and if it is going to again back the “YES” side in the referendum on the Constitution, and all the evedence suggests that is the going to be the case, we at least should know this, and discount anthing which the BBC airs as EU Propaganda.
