"Body language in debate". This is how bad it has become: an airhead host

[AlinPA]

on MSRNC just before noon EST had some jerk on talking about all the actions that Obama and Clinton made last night ("nonverbal"). TV media is total garbage.

1. You hear a lot of that same "body language" crap on DU

And eye movements proving that someone is lying, and so on.

Posts here pretty regularly, I've learned.

2. Any body language expert will tell you

That body language doesn't necessarily convey what the person is "thinking", it only conveys how they are percieived by another.

3. "Body language expert" is a meaningless phrase

It's like "astrology expert".

8. appearances experts -- no different the shallow E channel commentary

7. O'LOOFAH has been running "body language" segments for months, plus

segments on "culture" where he subjects his flunky co-hosts at Faux, Steve DOOCY and some woman to humiliating comments while they try to answer game show questions controlled by O'LOOFAH.

Plus, he's got another segment with Laurie DHUE, pretending to be an ombudsman in settling complaints against O'LOOFAH from viewers' e-mails. It's, of course, a total whitewash.

What's heartening about this is that, when O'LOOFAH has to resort to filling dead air space, it means his other messages are running out.
