NLP is a sort of mental hypnosis or seed planting used by magicians such as Derren Brown. If done correctly the NLP operator can use hand gestures or word patterns to make you believe anything they want.
I attended a NLP training class in 1995 for my company. It was designed for sales people to be able to read customers better and then close the sale by planting the suggestion they wanted to buy or do business with you.
Do a search on NLP to read more about it, or take a look at the Derren Brown videos on you tube.
So this guy put together a very nice video showing the NLP trademark signs Fox News was using during an interview of a 9/11 truth topic.

It has also been suggested that Fox news used NLP to announce Bush had won when he really had not or the race was to close to call. The fact remains that they were indeed the first network to call the race for Bush.
What worries me is if NLP is being used by the networks, they can basically make anyone see what they want them to see.
Stephen Colbert !!! are you kidding me. THe narrator just lost all cred with me when he made that statement

There is a counter to this. The person being interviewed can counter this if they are an exceptional orrator and they posses PERFECT recollection and knowledge of the subject.

It's interesting that the guy on the clip mentions Stephen Colbert. Colbert is actually playing a caricature of a right wing talk show host. He doesn't really believe these things the way Hannity does. If he uses NLP techniques then he is a great actor indeed.
Let's be real here. FOX isn't making sure to select "weak minded poor debaters." When is the last time any "strong minded debater" was willing to come on a Fox show? Yeah.. none of them are willing to be owned. Democrats are real quick to point the finger, aren't they?

The videos showed no such telents of the people being interviewed, as FOX made sure to select weak minded poor debaters.
