Haha, hell no! Many people absorb what the media says with barely any questioning. Take this article for example, why is there no suggestion of Remain voters switching to Leave? Perhaps it's because the media coverage has been so one sided there's very little chance many people who voted to Remain would have need to question their convictions.

The Sun, The Daily Mail and The Daily Express in particular -- the main mass-circulation tabloids -- were full of pro-Leave lies. These are also papers that, not coincidentally, hate the BBC for being independent and excellent value for money.
- ZenoArrow 10y agoThere have been lies and propaganda on both sides, I won't deny that. However, the coverage in the 'impartial' BBC has been anything but. There have been very few instances of information-rich coverage from any of the mainstream news outlets, the coverage has been much more about personality politics than about fostering a healthy debate.
