I've heard that said before and perhaps there is some truth in it with regard to political parties. But I don't think it is the case with regard to Brexit otherwise why the perpetual Remain bias on programmes like Question time?

I also notice it in the terminology that BBC presenters use. They adopt the phrases of the Remain side as if they are matters of fact. So for example they will talk about "crashing out" without a deal or "the cliff edge". They don't seem to acknowledge that there is another view, that perhaps the world wouldn't come to an end if we left without a deal. Indeed a couple of months ago when John Redwood was trying to explain how the WTO works on Newsnight, Kristy Walk just talked over him and the clarity of what he was trying to say was lost.

I guess it may be to do with the composition of BBC journalists, who largely come from a liberal soft left middle class background. If everybody around you thinks the same way then it's probably no surprise that you are not able to accept that there is a different view.
