I saw the media coverage more as either populist - the majority did vote no, or wanting something to talk about - once you go into detail there's very little the yes side has, whereas the big companies were thinking of moving out of iScot which easily fills pages.
Yes definitely, though it can be even worse. Look at how poor Nick Robinson was the subject of professionally organised protest marches for the crime of asking Salmond difficult questions and then being blunt about his lack of answers:
Or, that is how it was represented in the media - I understand there was one "Nick Robinson" banner (here pictured) but the wider protest was against the BBC's bias.
That is, in fact, strictly what the article says, but not how people are encouraged to interpret it.
The issue on that specific story was that Nick was given nearly 7 minutes of response, which was edited out on the main evening news with a "he declined to answer" dismissal. Technicalities surrounded the legitimacy of that edit, but YouTube videos showed the whole episode and the edit was, at best, disingenuous.
This single event spurred the whole BBC protest, and brought widespread attention to actually quite a lot of small, arguably subtle but definitely existent, biases in the reporting.
