That proportional representation isn’t it , the BBC is representing the views of the 62 million people that haven’t voted for a referendum rather than the 1 million who did.

It’s the BBC Scotland that we no longer believe. We know what to expect from the English Broadcasting Service. 🙂
Actually it disillusioned me somewhat. When I lived overseas I’d occasionally hear claims that the BBC was just the UK’s propaganda unit rather than an unbiased commentator, but I didn’t believe it.
Having been on the receiving end of how they are treating the independence debate I have formed the opinion that if Alex Salmond won a billion pounds, it would be reported by the BBC as “Scotland’s First Minister has crushing money problems”, or if they found a photo of him as a babe in a bath with another kid “Salmond revealed to have exposed himself to underage child”.
I’ve become a fan of Al-Jazeera and other foreign media, because with no irons in the fire, they will give both sides of the issue fairly.
That’s all we ask, fair reporting.
