[QUOTE="delilah, post: 6615470, member: 76758"] It was on R4 feedback last night, due to the number of complaints from vegans the BBC thought they should get someone in to answer the criticism. Amusingly they chose Tim Lang, who admitted to knowing Joanna Blythman ( they are basically mates) and he skillfully avoided dissing anything she had said. There are two important lessons in this: - The BBC aren't biased against livestock farming, the problem is that there is a paucity of people putting themselves forward - ie being put forward by our national bodies - who can string a sentence together re the environmental benefits of red meat production. Put them forward and they can get air time. - Look at that response from Viva. They produced an 800 word response to the Joanna Blythman interview. Does anyone representing the livestock industry respond with such force whenever a vegan story is run ? Again: who is involved, who is committed ? [/QUOTE]
