How BBC kept Brexiteers off the air for a decade per Daily Mail

The Mail reports http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5314581/How-BBC-kept-Brexiteers-air-decade.html on a Civitas study that is absolutely unsurprising:

'Pro-Brexit voices are being drowned out on the BBC's news programming, an analysis has claimed.

Only a very small proportion of speakers on Radio 4's Today programme are long-term supporters of leaving the EU, the Civitas think-tank said in a report.

The authors claimed the BBC has been unable to supply an example of a single programme since the June 2016 referendum which has examined the opportunities of Brexit.

Last night the BBC described the analysis as flawed and insisted it was 'covering the process towards Brexit in a responsible and impartial way'.

The Civitas report, entitled The Brussels Broadcasting Corporation?, said that for the past 20 years the BBC has consistently viewed the issue of withdrawing from the EU through the prism of splits in the Conservative Party.'

That the BBC is institutionally pro the EU is obvious, that the BBC push views that are in accordance with theirs is clear. That the BBC is a clear and present danger to the interests of the UK is also clear and obvious.

The question is what can be done to stop the BBC propaganda machine before the UK is beyond help.
