What the petition asks

In the aftermath of the EU Referendum and Brexit being announced, and also with the EU Elections, it has become obvious that the BBC has broken its' charter on impartiality when it comes to reporting such issues. we call on the government and Ofcom to investigate these breaches as soon as possible

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because this would be a decision for Ofcom, which is independent of the UK Government and Parliament.
