[edit] Interviewing technique

No mention is made of the fact that Tim Sebastian is Jewish - and that his interviewing technique of Israeli interviewees is remarkably different to that meted out to Palestinians (NB Saeb Erekat) - related to Jeremy Paxman, by any chance...?? And, yes, it`s a very fair comment to make.--201.231.122.212 07:19, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

The final paragraph includes claims that are not supported with evidence. Evidence of these claims with citations should be added to the entry or the claims should be deleted. The claims are that:

- Sebastian specializes in setting traps for his interviewees.

- His style of conducting an interview is controversial

- ... insisting on simple answers to complicated questions and of calling people to account for not having gotten enough done in what has been, realistically, an impossibly short time frame to do so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.238.228.247 (talk) 14:16, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
