Completely biased. No impartiality whatsoever. A tool f the establishment and the establishment preferred party the Tories. Nothing they do is impartial.

Could you give some specific examples of them not being impartial. Not just a feeling you have or an impression but something that can be analysed and picked apart to show favouritism.
And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

Michelle Thompson?
Hounded for weeks despite no wrongdoing.
Ruth Davidson not hounded at all despite the Dark Money saga now into it's 4th month and no answers.

Nope needs to be more speciflin regards to the BBC. Michelle Thompson wad harshly treated by the press in general hence the number of public apologies that were made and news articles altered.
Anyway the OP didn't mention bias against the snp but was more about the BBC (not BBC news) in general being pro Tory.
I'd say that the entertainment side of the BBC has a left wing bias. You certainly don't see many comedians on the BBC having a pop at the Labour Party but anything goes when it comes to sniping at the Tories. The BBC give prime time slots to Frankie Boyle who certainly doesn't ever say anything pro Tory.

Brian Taylor. Recall a press conference at Bute House, and Sturgeon pats him on the shoulder in passing as she toddles along to the podium.

I do wonder why both the leavers and remainers both think the BBC is showing bias to the other side.
In trying to be impartial the BBC does try to show both sides of the debate but they generally get an expert in that field or someone from the remain camp then to counter they get someone like digby jones for "balance" and he then spouts sounbites etc rather than anything cohesive that shows there's been any thought on this issue.
They have also given waaaaay to much time to farage in recent years, there's is defo something in that.
It doesn't help both Marr, nick Robinson and Neil are big tories and in neils case the Addison club contains a large number or prominent figures who would want to avoid tax rules the EU are bringing in.
That's politics for you, they can announce a license fee review or Boris will call them remainers etc if the BBC don't tow the line.

The reason Farage gets so much airtime is because he pulls in the viewers.
It's as simple as that.

In that case why don't they scrap all the real news and just put in nice fluffy puff pieces to try and get the number of viewers up. Question time is already pretty much impossible to watch unless your a brexit loving gammon and feel triggered by watching other gammons in the audience getting redder and redder abat dem imgrants comin ova ere
The reason we pay the license fee is so that that they don't need to create only commercially viable TV pandering to any group of people.

I’m not sure Michelle Thomson was harshly treated by the BBC. She had two “charges” to answer. One that she behaved unethically in buying property on the cheap from distressed sellers. Two that she behaved, shall we say, “oddly”, in selling these properties immediately (sometimes the same day) at a higher price to business or family connections. To my knowledge she has never given a satisfactory explanation for the latter. And the SNP effectively disowned her.
The debate about the BBC is like the debate the Old Firm used to have about referees being biased against them. The right say it’s full of lefties, and the left say it’s full of Tories.

For the avoidance of doubt, Michelle Thomson was never charged with anything by the Police and all investigations by them failed to find any criminal activity by her

Yep. It was trial by media who doorstepped her constantly even after no charges were brought.
Ruth Davidson on the other hand has got off the hook on the #darkmoney controversy and allowed to promote her book instead.
