Re: BBC bias

You know, the first thing that occurred to me when the BBC reporter quickly added, "but members of the Vote Leave campaign pointed out that a majority of the FTSE 100 had not signed" (which you may have missed in your rush to indignation), was not that the BBC was actually being determinedly unbiased.

Rather, that a so-called debate, or an attempt to report that debate, which is predicated on the basis that everytime X says Y then it also has to be reported that ¬X says ¬Y, is simply vacuous. Frankly I'd rather the BBC reported nothing as it would be exactly as informative as the carefully-balanced time-slicing of unverifiable sound bites.
