Double-barreled question
For example, the question "Should the organization reduce paperwork required of employees by hiring more administrators?""[citation needed] Double-barreled questions have been asked by professionals, resulting in notable skewed media reports and research pieces.For example, Harris Poll used double-barreled questions in the 1980s, investigating the US public opinion on Libya–United States relations, and American attitudes toward Mikhail Gorbachev.[7] In a legal trial, a compound question may raise an objection,[8] as the witness may be unable to provide a clear answer to the inquiry.One guide to trial practice offers the following example of a compound question:[9] Cross-examiner: As you approached the intersection, did you look down, change the radio station, and then look up and for the first time notice the oncoming car?
