Borrell does not shows up at the interview the appeal of a good character, while Sebastian does it a little bit: --- In spite of Josep staying cool for several minutes dismissing the question with a discrete smile (reacting forcefully to protest the tone of the interview (you are giving me the prosecution's treatment of a criminally acussed person) and threthening to stop it), he keep dismissing the questions without transmitting more credibility, experience, knowledge and authority; nor the genuineness of his stated interests and objectives and the nature of their evidence, as Borrel never goes deep into this territory in his answers (that Josep keeps so brief). He losses authority when coming back to the interview to get just the same questionning after having it already walked out of it. In deed if Josep and his staff would have made their homework in order to be well prepared for the interview, they would have know the style of Conflict Zone and would have designed a strategy of giving large extended answers to deprive the interviewer of the opportunity to make such a numerous amount of citations and questions. In those large answers Josep would have let us feel he is an experienced seasoned politician with a strong profile in defending the Spanish people’s interests. Tim performs well keeping doing his hard questioning without apologizing, practicing denunciation journalism and saying bluntly to Josep something like: “I am not here to make you easy questions (as you pretend facing)”.
