Bigoted, Biased, Corrupt?
The day that people stop complaining vigorously about the BBC is the day the public service broadcaster should be wound up, if you ask me.
According to report below in The Herald as many as 1 in 3 Scots believe the Beeb is biased against independence, but then again most of those folk are no doubt committed indy supporters anyway.
So what's the big deal?
The Tories are always complaining that the BBC is ganging up on them and that Broadcasting House is full of 'lefties', just as the Labour Government argued the exact opposite when it was in power from 1997 to 2010.
Jeremy Corbyn supporters are unhappy that their man doesn't get a fair crack of the white from the 'mainstream media', so they say, even though I think Jezza's making a terrible mess of the Labour leadership all by himself.
Most hilarious of all, perhaps, is the fact that Rangers Football Club banned the BBC from its ground recently, albeit for reasons known only to the club itself.

ONE third of audiences believe the BBC's news reporting is biased against Scottish Independence, a new poll has revealed.
A survey for The Herald shows that only one quarter of those polled believed the BBC was impartial in its coverage of the issues surrounding independence.
The poll appears to confirm BBC Trust findings published last year in which Scottish viewers tended to have a “lower opinion” of the broadcaster than elsewhere in the UK.
