But it is true that if you compare Steven Colbert's body language and hand gestures to Bill O'Reilly's, they are nearly identical. The difference is that Colbert is an act for comedy. Bill O'Reilly is a political pundit who is completely serious.. ALL THE TIME. And when O'Reilly is actually laughing on his show he's usually actually laughing at other people or groups of people.

i read up a bit on NLP and it just dosent seem to me that this is what we are seeing in the media. i'm not saying though that they dont use some form of manipulation (as we all know).
i read nlp is a methodology of how we function as human beings. the purpose is to study, describe and transfer models of human excellence. it is the relationships between how we think (neuro), how we communicate both verbally and non-verbally (linguistic) and our patterns of behaviour and emotion (programmes).
i think it pushes your own boundries and helps you use the capabilities which are innate though rarely used. form of hypnosis...i dont imagine though could be wrong.
Yes one would think that, but unfortunately the BBC is not to be trusted either. They may be the lesser of evils but I have caught them out on being biased and less than truthful too.

I believe that the more info that we get, the more prepare we can be to all kind of attacks to our psyche. We must be very discerning with everything unless, of course, we are talking about 9/11, which it's pretty obvious what it is! "
Greyone - that would have been me. I do agree that, for the most part, the president is a puppet. Really I am just tired of the whole right wing conspiracy crap and was responding to that.
And, yes it is pretty obvious what 9/11 was. Hijacked planes were flown into buildings creating a cause for war. I can buy into the argument that, like Pearl Harbor, it was allowed to happen, but I'm not so desperate for conspiracy that I believe Bush and Cheney planned it.

I continue to laugh at this retarded thread. I mean I told people where I work about it and they said the exact same thing I did. Some paranoid people need mental health treatment. There are a number of medications available to help everyone who believes this crap.
So please continue this ridiculous worthless thread, as I'm sure you're going to prove this is true, even though I told you I manage/have managed many network stations and it isn't.
Preach on though. I can't wait to hear what crap comes next.
