Vans carrying billboards accusing the BBC of anti-SNP bias have travelled across Tayside and Fife in recent days.
The large posters, emblazoned with the slogan “BBC is mis-Reporting Scotland”, are currently on a tour of the country.
They visited Dundee on Thursday morning, having previously travelled across Fife.
Created by Inform Scotland, a group set up in the aftermath of the 2014 independence referendum, the billboards form part of a campaign aimed at what organisers see as anti-SNP output by the broadcaster and “the unchallenged lying” of secretary of state for Scotland David Mundell.
In a post on the Inform Scotland website, campaigner Simon Malzer explains the reason for the billboards.
He said: “The Inform Scotland campaign is not aimed at the BBC. It is aimed at people who unquestioningly believe everything the BBC tells them. By acting as a bridge, opening doors and signposting the existence of an alternative narrative to what they regularly hear or read on the BBC and in the mainstream media, we want to help more and more people break out of their cocoons into the fresh air of the vibrant, reality-based discourse that has enlightened so many people in the past few years throughout Scotland.
“The Inform Scotland billboards are a means of providing that bridge. Our hope is that people go to the Inform Scotland website, click through to the wide range of articles the site signposts, and make their own minds up about whether the BBC is guilty of bias or not.
“This is not some thoughtless, blind kickback against a vaguely perceived sense of injustice. It is a well-researched, organised and determined attempt to make a difference, to stand up for balance in what is meant to be an open democracy, to express our justified concern that a publicly-funded institution with a charter proclaiming impartiality and balance, can be shown to be failing in this regard.
“We accept there is an element of disruption in this – direct action is meant to be disruptive. We accept that there may be greater minds than ours bent upon our common goal of independence.
“Ours may be the blunt instrument approach to creative persuasion, but at least it’s an approach.”
