Censorship is alive and well in Britain.
Story: Daily Telegraph publishes a letter which has over 300 business leaders and CEO's backing Brexit
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/15/eu-referendum-more-than-300-business-leaders-back-a-brexit/
This story has been published on websites like:
The Daily Mail
The Daily Express
Sky News
Belfast Telegraph
Bloomberg News
The Herald (Scottish Paper)
Wall Street Journal
Does it get a mention on the BBC? Nothing on BBC Politics. Nothing on BBC News. Nothing on BBC Business. The only mention is in their paper review where they dedicate just one line to it if you scroll down to the Daily Telegraph's frontpage.

And now they're even accepting pro-Remain advertisements on their website for users outside the UK.
On ITV News they have 3 articles on the same fucking story, Boris' remarks about the EU's and Hitler's aims being comparable. Nothing on the 300 businesses backing Brexit.
And nothing whatsoever, as expected, on the pro-EU newspapers like the Guardian, the Indy, and the FT.
If we all make complaints, the BBC will have to respond and post the story.
Here's the link I used to complain

I complained about "Not enough coverage" and I put in my explanation that this was bias by omission, given so many other news websites have covered this story. I also pointed out that the BBC has some positively dull story about 'GCHQ posts on Twitter' on its BBC Politics page. Clearly a letter with 300 businesses backing Brexit is far more important to the general public than what GCHQ does on Twitter.
