No, they will exaggerate.
But as an example, try and spot how much of any EU discussion is allocated to the economic, and how much to the democratic. About 99 to 1, I'd guess.
Europhobes will all be categorised as people who talk of "Britons" and "Putting the Great back into once Great Britain".
Whilst people like Mandelson, Paddy Pantsdown, Cleggie, Ken Clarke et al, who all wanted us to join the Euro, will be portrayed as "experts".
I know you are in favour of the EU, WM and to my mind you have no need to worry. Even if a referendum does come about EU membership is supported by every major political party, the BBC, Sky TV, most newspapers, big business...
There is no way we will be allowed to leave the EU.
Even if a referendum is won by the NO camp, we'll just be asked to vote again....

As they see it. Yes I get the point. Neither side is, essentially, fully truthful. They put it as they see it.

I try to be even handed, but when you are surfing material provided by one slant or another it is very, very hard.

Cromwell, it may come to pass that the UKIP do a lot better than anyone wants to think. There will be a LOT Of suspicion by the people. After all, if we have a cast iron, guaranteed, free and open, referendum, what has the establishment got to fear.

That, I fear, is the truth....
