Paola Buonadonna at British Influence has posted a useful guide on how to challenge bias on BBC, ITV and Sky News.
The point of complaining is not to gripe or let off steam. Complaints by people interested in a fair and accurate representation of European issues can affect the tone of the broadcast debate. The BBC in particular has to take complaints seriously, as its survival depends on the Licence Fee that you pay. The Eurosceptics have learnt this lesson early and they are aggressive, organised, serial complainers. They have cowed the BBC into a position where the only safe, uncontroversial way to ‘deal’ with Europe is to debate it through the prism of UKIP’s take on it. It’s time for those who dislike Ukip’s values and prefer their political coverage to be accurate and balanced, to make their voices heard too.
