Brexit is a stupid idea, so most Brexiteers are cretins.

There will also be some clever Brexiteers in the Establishment who have been involved in the anti-EU propaganda campaign, to allow them to destroy working conditions, environmental protections etc.
Remain is a clever idea, so most clever people will be for Remain. However, cretins being cretins, some of them (such as scooter and darmy) will blunder randomly into the Remain camp.

In terms of the BBC, it has a liberal bias on social issues, and a right-wing (or orthodox economics if you prefer) bias on economic issues. It's important to separate out the two, although of course that may be tricky for our simpleton Breixteer (+ scooter + darmy) colleagues.

Not all opinions are based on cut and dried facts. For example, there's plenty of evidence that the majority of Brexiters are as thick as mince and incapable for forming or following rational discourse, but it would be a stretch to say it's a fact.
Anyway - like all media organisations, the BBC does have a bias (in this case "liberal") which sometimes affects what it reports on and how it reports it. It's still a hell of a lot more impartial, and certainly more reliable than any other news outlet I can think of.
If someone can suggest another news source which is more reliable, trustworthy and/or impartial, I'd be fascinated to know about it. I might even change my mind on the subject.

And I'm finding excon to be an extreme right wing troll.
So I would advise him not to cross my path...
