SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE: Crowd Protest Against BBC Bias by costan306(m): 4:01pm On Sep 15, 2014
Large crowd gathered outside BBC Scotland's Glasgow
HQ to protest about coverage of the referendum.
Police said up to 1,000 people took part although other
observers suggested a much higher figure for the crowd.
The protesters said BBC coverage had been biased against
independence.
A BBC spokesperson said: "We believe our coverage has
been fair and impartial and has adhered fully to the
requirements of our Editorial and Referendum Guidelines."
Protesters gathered outside the BBC's Pacific Quay offices
at about 14:00.
They draped a banner over the entrance to the building
calling for the BBC's political editor Nick Robinson to be
sacked.
Earlier this week, Mr Robinson clashed with First Minister
Alex Salmond at a media conference.
Mr Salmond accused Mr Robinson of "heckling" him at a
press conference in Edinburgh for international journalists
Mr Robinson was later accused by "Yes" campaigners of
producing a report that wrongly claimed Mr Salmond had
ignored his question.
A BBC response said it considered Mr Robinson's
questions were valid and the overall report balanced and
impartial, in line with editorial guidelines.
The exchange came after the BBC reported that the Royal
Bank of Scotland (RBS) would move its registered
headquarters to London if Scots voted for independence.
Mr Salmond said the Treasury had leaked details of an
RBS notice to markets in breach of financial regulations.

the northerners always taken their word as gospel truth. they know they are being manipulated but they seem to prefer it snf are just totally afraid of being by themselves. they need the old eastern region to put in check of tearing themselves apart.
