The reason I love Colbert is because everything he does duplicates Bill O'Reilly (save for subject matter). Their gestures and body langauge are exactly the same. That's why it's so hilarious to watch Steven Colbert. He does it for a comedy show and it's great to see him actually mock Bill O'Reilly on a daily basis.. I really don't understand why Colbert was pointed out in the video though.. It's not like he's a serious pundit or something.. He's a friggin comedian...

At least we can all hope people don't take Colbert THAT seriously.. I'm surprised you don't see this on his show actually.. Colbert would see it as a compliment!!!!

Fox News is not the only program that uses NLP. Abc, CBS, ABC, and CNN do the same thing. The difference is that Fox invites both sides to be heard, and asks the same questions of both sides. O'Reilly actually insists they answer the question. I don't watch Hannity and Combs because I don't like the fact that Sean Hannity seems wants to shout down any one he doesn't agree with. Oh how I miss William F Buckley! Buckley, an arch conservative, could home in on the real issues, and get his guests to answer questions without yelling and screaming.
(By the way, CNN had a program a few years ago which featured a similar format to Hannity and Combs that featured a conservative and a liberal. Can't remember the name now, but Robert Novak was one of the hosts for a while.
The way to avoid being "programmed" is to listen to what is being said. Pay attention to key words. Then, instead of taking what they say at face value, THINK about what has been said. Reason it out for yourself. And get your news from various sources. I read newspapers, surf the net, watch(listen)to various TV news programs, as well as commentary. Then I make up my own mind.
I am not saying that I am immune to NLP. I don't think any of us can be totally immune, simply because we will always let our guard down at one time or another. But if you recognize it is being used, then you can put your guard up.
No one has mentioned one of the most successful "pushers" of NLP in this thread. Tony Robbins has made a freaking fortune with this stuff.
