G.A. Ponsonby: How The BBC Stole The Referendum (Chapter 2)

How The BBC Stole The Referendum
by G.A. Ponsonby

Chapter 2 - 
The Impossible Referendum and a Trumped Up Smear


The BBC's behaviour in the final two weeks of the referendum campaign was appalling, but it wasn't a shock to seasoned independence campaigners. The BBC had come in for considerable criticism throughout the referendum for what many insisted was a pro-Union bias. A steady pattern of promoting pro-Union claims and headlining anti-independence news stories had led to a complete breakdown of trust between the BBC and many Scottish voters. The final two weeks was merely a culmination of years of journalistic deterioration.
