The survey at Guido Fawkes https://order-order.com/2018/03/02/bbcs-brexit-problem-mainstream-perception/ is incredible only in that anyone with any semblance of a grasp on reality could possibly think that the BBC was pro Brexit.
'People aren't stupid, by a 3 to 1 more people think the BBC is anti – than pro Brexit, when over a quarter of the audience has come to the conclusion the BBC is biased there is a real problem, because if we don't want to read the most partisan newspapers we don't buy them. The BBC's funding forces us all to pay for it and we expect to be impartial as a result. It is manifestly not perceived as a source of impartial information on this polarising issue.'
The BBC is biased against Brexit, of that there is no doubt. However the BBC, and its oversight, is structured in such a way that it doesn't matter. As currently constituted the BBC can pretty much do what it wants, short of blatantly breaking the law. This much stop, but under an anti Brexit hard left Labour government the BBC will be joyous and in full propagandising mode whilst the remnants of the free press will be restrained.
