Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
EXPOSED: Report CONFIRMS BBC was ‘strongly biased AGAINST Brexit’ in run-up to referendum
The analysis by monitoring group News-Watch looked at Radio 4's flagship morning news programme Today and concluded that there was "overwhelming negativity" about Leaving the EU.
During the six three-hour morning shows from Monday 29 March to Saturday 4 April, Today fielded 124 guests on Article 50 but only eight, 6.5 per cent, were "given the space to make substantive arguments that the future for the UK outside the EU would yield significant benefits".
It also claimed that in the survey period BBC correspondents "displayed what can only be described as a strong common editorial bias against Brexit".

No, no, NO!
We all know that the BBC was entirely pro-Brexit!...
Maybe they just couldn't find the facts or contributors to support that stance.

Right wing anti EU, anti BBC pressure group finds BBC biased towards EU shock...
In other news, the Taxpayers Alliance thinks we pay too much tax and Migration Watch thinks there's too much immigration

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
Newswatch is hardly a unbiased group. The Express is misrepresenting them to suggest it is. It's a partisan blog that exists to go after the BBC: http://news-watch.co.uk/ Them 'finding' it's biased is about as as useful as saying The Canary has found Labour are best placed to manage the economy.
They're entitled to their view and argument of course but it's wrong to suggest this was the result of a academic study.

The Express desperately clings to Newswatch like a drunk clinging to his empty can of Special Brew.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
The BBC is not biased. It balances the views of the left and right of socialism and even gives a bit of air time to reactionary groups like those swivel eyed Conservatives.
Maybe they need to get the Fox News editorial team to help them refocus!

Be careful what you wish for; there are rumours that Murdoch's sons are trying to turn Fox news into another liberal news outlet. We need fox news as an opposite to the BBC's biased Trump coverage, especially, "Here's another beauty", Jon Sopel
I wonder if that could happen to Sky News if Murdoch takes full control?

All I am saying is take them for what they are, agree or not, than trying to pretend it's an actual group which independently monitors news channels for bias with some sort of academic standard.
You can search the site for yourself other than that though they don't appear to be registered anywhere, officially published anything or are recognised for anything. It's a website which seems to consist almost entirely of accusations the BBC is biased.
It's hard to find anything on them. Their contact page is a HTML form.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
Brexit bias at the BBC? We have no duty to balance reports, claims Nick Robinson
Rather than saying there is no bias, Robinson has — curiously — opted for a different approach. He says the BBC has no duty to be balanced as now that the referendum is out of the way, the corporation is no longer obliged to balance the two sides of the argument:

Stop bias against Brexit or face fine, BBC warned
The BBC will face sanctions and fines from its new regulator unless it ends its Brexit bias, a former Culture Secretary and architect of the Royal Charter has warned.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
Ok, I get it. The constant strawmanning on here and mockery on here.
I was just making a point about the specific article that started this, a point I thought was fair.

Lord Hall, the director general of the BBC, yesterday hit back at the MPs as he insisted that the corporation must remain "independent of political pressure".

To be fair Whitingdale was a Brexit supporter. But 'the Arts' folks are generally firm remain supporters. Which of those two are running the BBC?
Rona Fairhead who was effectively fired in September 2016, is also Bilderberg group attendee. That the BBC was/is biased against Brexit is not beyond belief
