Independent Enquiry into BBC bias regards Scottish Independence Referendum

Look into the activities and complaints of bias/governmental influence around the Scottish Independence referendum

Why is this important?

There is a suggestion that the BBC may be being used to promulgate propaganda in this affair, may not be unbiased or may be being coerced or influenced to serve one particular agenda. This suggestion should be investigated and BBC conduct explored in the light of their charter.
