It also helps balance the horrendously skewed referendum coverage being churned out on a daily basis by the mainstream media in general and the BBC or British Broadcasting Corporation in particular (the clue is in the title I suppose). Embarassingly though for the BBC, it is the part that is most meant to represent Scotland (BBC Scotland) which seems to have its needle most stuck in the wrong groove. Perhaps because we would expect it to reflect the views of ALL of the people who live in Scotland who it purports to represent, educate, inform and entertain. In its broadcasting it has long made a big thing about being balanced, fair, impartial and unbliased, and it has been so blatant in its failure on this extraordinarily important occasion. Instead ALL of the people of Scotland just seem to have to pay for it, but not expect to be treated with respect in return. There is a very strong case for a broadcaster funded in Scotland in the same way as the BBC. What a pity the BBC seems determined to undermine it, over and over again, to a greater or lesser degree, day after day. Please see below several of many examples.

Reasons To Vote YES For Scottish Independence as if Scotland needed any more, and the BBC in Scotland.
A wonderful video. It sums everything up and puts it fairly and squarely
in the hands of the people who live in Scotland, and who are over 16,
in 2014. It also tells the rest of the World why Scotland is voting,
what it is voting about and why it is so important. I strongly believe
that Scotland will be better off after independence. I also believe that
the other nations in the UK will better off after Scottish
independence. Scotland can do its bit for everyone better by being able
to engage with Europe and the World on its own terms. If you live in
Scotland Vote YES on 18th September 2014.

Mainstream media bias in Scottish Independence Referendum Campaign
You may not have been aware of it as it was not mentioned on any UK based mainstream media that there was a demonstration on Sunday 1st June 2014 at the BBC headquarters in Glasgow against their biased coverage during the Scottish Independence Referendum campaign.
Again the demonstration was mentioned on the Russia Today (RT) news channel, meaning as per the occasion of the Scottish Independence Rally in Edinburgh in 2013, the Scots must rely on foreign news services to report their own local news.
There is something very wrong with the mainstream media in Scotland when it is actively working against the interests of the people who it is supposedly meant to serve. The very worst culprit in this matter is the BBC as the people it is consistently not serving are the people who are directly paying for it.
I personally believe that if the Scots were actually told the facts regarding Scotland's position within the UK there would be no doubt as to a YES vote in September as there is so much evidence from which to choose as to how Scotland would be better off.

A once great and beloved institution continues to tarnish and destroy its own reputation. If we cannot trust them on this very important occasion one wonders if we can trust the BBC on anything every again.

And there is the further matter of the continuous bar on comments on internet stories relating to the Scottish Independence Referendum. Why is it when it comes to Scottish politics people are not allowed to comment but when it relates to all of the UK, or any other part of the UK people are permitted to comment freely.
More than a year on and
unsurprisingly the BBC still refuse to open up comments for their
hapless and generally baseless unionist Scottish Independence Referendum propaganda. This was even mentioned on their own BBC News Channel Newswatch programme some time ago but nothing has changed.A once great and beloved institution continues to tarnish and destroy its own reputation. If we cannot trust them on this very important occasion one wonders if we can trust the BBC on anything every again.
