I was suggesting a more structural relationship with the British state.
For one, the government has been increasingly applying pressure on BBC content.
Secondly, the BBC takes a British viewpoint. This is due to its geographic location and viewers. In the case of the Scottish referendum, the BBC straddles a Scotland half divided and a pro-British majority England. If the BBC considered itself to represent the people of Scotland, England, Wales, NI, Channel Islands, and North Korea, then we would have had a slightly different view of the election.
Thirdly, there is a close relationship between journalists and Westminster.
There is no Mr Big behind any bias, and no overarching conspiracy.

You're saying, I think, that the BBC
reflects the geographical make-up of its staff and the political allegiances and consequent bias that goes with that. But surely that's exactly what it should do? You're right about Mr Big.
