They are establishment and one of the most biased media outlets in the world
After spending £9m of taxpayer money on pro EU propaganda I guess nothing should surprise me.

The Daily Telegraph has been going down hill for some time compared to the dignified high quality paper it was only 10 years ago, but credit where it is due their Business section opinion pieces on the Eu referendum have been excellent and massively informing talking about areas of UK-EU policy that I was simply unaware. We have another very nice piece in the paper today about ECJ judicial activism and the UK Supreme Court. I don't agree with all the writers sentiments but the subject matter hasn't been widely covered in the main stream media so I applaud the effort.

What a load of rubbish, they are left leaning for sure but one of the most biased in the world? Are you for real?
You should do some travelling and see what state media is like in the rest of the world, I think you might be a little less harsh on the BBC.
Yes, one if the most biased in the world. They under report, misinform and often blanket lie on topics. They cut people off air when difficult situations arise, engage in very selective reporting based on what their chairpeople or trustees want. Prime example once again the HSBC scandal. We also have the Panama Papers and the BBC running an open smear campaign on the Russian President. I can't believe the media here has you so tied up to their whims.
I travel very often thank you very much and the transparency of a lot of press is I can tell you far more accurate than it is in this country. Just because I haven't gone to North Korea doesn't mean I can't see its tactics here in the British media.
Just out of curiosity and also to edify you somewhat you do realize the BBC is closely linked with GCHQ and MI5 and 6. That's not a conspiracy either before someone wants to offer a tinfoil hat.
You may want to question your perceptions a bit as I had to a couple of years ago.

I'm voting in. I think some in the uk haven't realized how far we've fallen from grace in the last 50 years.
No...the comparison is you found a train that you arrived 2 hours early but something happened meaning it couldn't get there while you were on it.
They wouldn't even make the list of top 10 most biased media outlets in the UK.
Put it like this they are certainly the most biased tv news in this country by a country mile.
One thing I can tell you about this referendum is that it has shown that the large majority of our politicians are spineless, deceitful scumbags. I don't think I've ever held the political establishment in such low regard as I do now. They truly are the lowest of the low. Worse than a PPI Lawyer with a part time job as an Estate Agent.
Turncoats won't be forgotten about by their constituents but then the likes of Mercer and Wollaston have probably been promised peerages or other cushy jobs so don't care.
Career before principles and convictions is the order of the day. Corbyn and BoJo being two the most prominent examples but neither seem to be getting much flak for it?
I have my more considered, rational reasons for wanting to leave the EU, but giving the establishment a kick in the nuts is a bonus IMO.
Where do you think most of the reported news comes from? Its only the odd "breaking story" or a paper that individually investigates a particular matter.
Well said.
I think it's hilarious that people are bothered by the deadline extension because it MEANS the other side are getting longer no one knows what side the late folk are gona vote, it's not even extrapolation just poorly based conjecture.
Is that a "cast-iron, sack-me-if-I-don't-deliver" assurance?
EDIT: Looking at the news, I wonder if Labour are a bit out of touch with their voter base. FWIW most Labour supporters I know want to leave.
