Just going back to Twitter again...
One of the most blatantly biased of all the BBC Twitter feeds I'd ever read, a couple of years or so back, belonged to Damien McGuinness ("BBC correspondent. Berliner. Migrant. Presenter of DW Focus on Europe"). I wrote a post about it at the time.

And looking at his Twitter feed again now, it hasn't got any more impartial - especially over Brexit.
If you are on Twitter, just keep scrolling down and then search for 'Brexit' and you'll read a deluge of tweets including the word. (I get 224 mentions). They are relentlessly - and I do mean 'relentlessly' - anti-Brexit. It's just one negative news story and anti-Brexit opinion tweeted about, linked to, re-retweeted after another.
This is a BBC correspondent who clearly doesn't like the idea of us leaving the EU one little bit.
And, lo and behold, what has just appeared on the BBC News website tonight?
It's a sorry tale of how the UK's "Brexiteers" have come a cropper in Germany today. They got laughed at by German businessmen. The BBC man ends by suggesting that they might come away having learned something.
Here's a flavour:
The whole article reeks of anti-Brexit bias, and pro-Brexit tweeters are already crying foul.
Reading Damien McGuinness's BBC-branded anti-Brexit Twitter feed it's impossible not to put this down to bias.
