Take a read of this article from the Sunday Herald. Apparently "presenter Jeremy Paxman had told SNP leader Alex Salmond that 'not one' of 50 firms, made up of 25 in Britain and 25 north of the border, supported the party's independence policy on a TV special shown before the Holyrood elections in May." Strictly speaking this was true but the facts were somewhat different to that which were portrayed, in fact "only seven of the 50 firms approached for their views on independence had replied...a majority had declined to express a view 'one way or the other, two had declared 'neutrality' and one leading business said 'it didn't care.'"
It appears the BBC have first owned up to fiddling phone-in competitions and now they have had to own up to misreporting opinion polls. Perhaps they should release the Balen report or we might have to conclude that they do have an unfair agenda within parts of their news coverage.
