I usually see HNers stand against fake news, and post-truth, but here I am watching secessionists brigading Hacker News scot-free.

The events are actually happening are they not? Please can we distinguish between "I don't agree with the politics expressed here" and "the reporting describes events which didn't happen, or misdescribes events that did"?

Its also been boycotted by the opposition and was rushed through using dubious mesures by the ruling party

I'm repeating myself but...

The only source for BBC quoting "hundreds injured" is what secessionists say, they don't contrast that number.

There was a change in BBC news after Brexit, trying to weaken the common European position.

Sigh, English media have always been very sceptical against Europe. That is nothing new.

Different political opinions aren't fake news. There are real people in Catalonia trying to submit ballots. In some places there are Spanish police trying to stop them.

I agree with that, I don't agree with BBC quoting "hundreds injured" without a reliable source.

Given hundreds of polling stations, and many examples like this video popping up on YouTube, injuries are likely far beyond what's reported.

The BBC, though in lamentable shape in many ways, is not usually considered a Fake news source. Do you have any links to English language reports that are less biased from your standpoint?

As are the unionists.

BBC is fake news?
