What the petition asks
They have broken the Royal Charter which states Trust is the foundation of the BBC: we are independent, impartial and honest.
The Media and in particular the BBC have consistently and persistently shown bias in their reporting during the EU referendum toward the remain campaign.
The Media and in particular the BBC have consistently and persistently shown bias in their reporting during the EU referendum toward the remain campaign.
Reporting has been unfair in that interviewees are hand picked, debates are one sided and hosts of Debates (Notably David Dimblebee and Jeremy Paxman) do not allow questions to be answered fully cutting off anything they deem may be on the "Leave side". They are causing division and are reporting without checking facts, there is no merit in the kind of journalism.
Recently they have continued to report on the Petition for a second referendum was signed 3 million people when in fact it was fraudulent and reported as such elsewhere.
