Most people don't read newspapers these days, so will get their daily dose of propaganda from the BBC, which is unashamedly in the Remain camp.

Every day we get a new story about how plague and famine will sweep the land if we leave the EU. It's laughable really but Fear is a tried, tested and proven way to control the masses, from terrorism to trade agreements.

And you don't think the printed press has been using Fear as a motivating factor to whip up anti-EU sentiment for years?

Most people are only happy with the media if they repeat everything they believe about the world, anything else tends to be viewed as bias, this is why the BBC is now attacked for its "bias" from both the left and right.

Personally I'm still in the Remain camp and I don't think I've even watched much TV coverage of the "debate" although that is a pretty generous term for the campaign so far.

I know it may be hard to believe for the zealots on both sides, but plenty of people in both camps are more than capable of making up our own minds.

Any examples of this BBC propaganda?

I'm discovering the BBC seems quite bad. I find daily items about how much exiting will cost us, but very rarely see an article giving the benefits to leaving...

It's hardy the BBC's fault there aren't any benefits to leaving is it? But overall, I think the BBC is doing a good job to providing equal air time and web space to both sides.

Would you consider the above also propaganda? Or is it only propaganda when the BBC reports on something the Remain camp says?

This BBC 'bias' stuff is complete nonsense: for every story reported on the Remain camp's argument there is always the other side's take within the article/report. Feel free to post a link to prove if this is not the case, otherwise I wish all you people who moan about a BBC 'bias' that patently isn't there would give it a rest!
