The problem is that so much of the Leave argument is based on easily debunkable misleading news stories in the press, that it's impossible to give it 50/50 coverage without people being (rightly) outraged about the low quality of the coverage. The BBC is not obliged to give airtime to political flat earthers, but it still does anyway.

From my point of view they helped create the problem by running Farage et al on Question Time far more often than the electoral popularity of their party would warrant.
