BBC news - bird flu

[Moonhawk]

Just watching BBC news about bird flu. Geez they were desperate to find some doom and gloom in it - but the farmer they interviewed gave them nothing

The interview started off by stating it would be a big problem for him to get 40,000 chickens back in doors.

His response 'not really - they come in overnight anyway and we just wont open the doors this morning'

They fished as to whether it'll have an impct on egg production.

His response - 'I dont think so as long as we keep them stimulated'

They then fished for it's impact on supermarket prices.

His response - 'I dont think it'll make any difference'

Sounds like the interviewer did his job - allowed you to find out there wasn't much to worry about by asking questions of somebody better informed.

Which is nice.

It was more the way the questions were asked - almost as if they were trying to lead the interviwee

They were worded like - "but there will be an impact on egg production wont there?"

Rather than a neutral:

"Do you anticipate an impact on egg production"
