No BBC bias

-

So Scottish nationalis­ts demonstrat­ed in Glasgow on Saturday about BBC bias against Scotland and their independen­ce crusade.

What? Then they haven’ t noticed Nicola Sturgeon’s daily BBC TV coronaviru­s briefings, considered by many to be increasing­ly politicise­d? And in which she seemingly barely hesitates to criticise Downing Street or play what looks like her familiar game of Scotland good/england bad?

More generally though, I’d suggest that, while individual BBC journalist­s occasional­ly bet ray their bias for or against separatism, the corporatio­n routinely does a decent enough job at steering a middle course.
