The Sun and the rest can be as biased as they like because they are private enterprises and you are perfectly correct in that the public money the BBC relies on forces them to be as unbiased as possible and there have been complaints about BBC bias towards remain in the EU debate ,usually from rabid brexiters like the Sun it has to be said .The BBC are in a no win situation, if they question companies like Siemens about their plans post Brexit they are accused of bias if they don't question them they are accused of bias the other way .I personally have found the BBC's reporting on the EU referendum quite fair.
