BBC Referendum Bias - Glasgow Rally & Orange Order
On the day of one of the biggest political rallies Scotland has ever seen:
BBC national news reports 'thousands from across UK in pro-union rally' when it was actually an organised Orange Order march. The following news package contained no footage whatsoever of the 'rally', conveniently omitting the fact that it was lead by the Orange Order.
Both national and regional news programmes failed to report the massive Yes rally on Buchanan Street despite having cameras following the two No campaigners on the same street.
In terms of balance the piece focuses heavily on several No campaign events/issues whilst a single event attended by Alex Salmond offers the sole coverage for the 'other side'.
