Or, FT could actually acknowledge that the remain folks have legitimate arguments.
- rsynnott 6y agoSure, and they do. But some people interpret that as bias, because it isn't occupying a largely imaginary position equidistantly between remain and leave. When the average person talks about media bias, they do _not_ actually mean 'factual reporting', or 'independent editorial policy', or anything like that; they mean either 'agrees with me' or 'occupies a weird artificial center position'. Some (usually public) broadcasters actually have 'equal-time' rules, which can produce fairly bizarre results.
