Bias from the BBC

It isn’t just QT though. Every time someone from the Brexit is interviewed and either tells an out and out lie or even something that is patently incorrect they are hardly ever corrected or questioned by the interviewer

I watched the first section of last nights QT when they discussed brexit. The panel consisted of Farage and two other leavers plus Ken Clarke and one other remainer.

There were a large number of speakers from the audience, but only one lady spoke in favour of remain. Admitedly the program was from Blackpool, which voted two thirds for leave, but even so the audience was quite disproportionate as if it had been deliberately packed with these angry leavers. David Dimbleby does not even to disguise his own personal brexit bias.

John Humphrey’s this morning likened Brexit to WWII and called the EU “the enemy”

Language like that does nobody any favours, is both lazy, incorrect and biased

The BBC is ridiculously biased but then most of the mainstream media is.

I don't watch Question Time these days, for just that reason.

Everywhere on social media you see complaints of bias by the BBC.

This link shows one area of absolute bias. No argument whatsoever
