Excellent analysis on TV manipulation

thoughts on this people? do you agree?

I stopped after "neurolinguistic programming".

I think someone's giving Fox news far more credit than they deserve.

You really like this Johnathan guy. How many of videos are you going to post?

Uhhh, the fox newscaster guy just seemed like an ******* to me and I disagreed with pretty much everything he said, so unless Fox news' big purpose is to get everyone to pretty much hate their guts through the magical power of TV manipulation, then mission accomplished.

I regurgitated.

Fox News, Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart. All the same stupid political nonsense that's just on the air for entertainment.

thats a terrible false equivalency

by this logic, it shouldn't matter if a boxer takes a dive in a fight, because it is just the same as Rocky (re: actors)

The evidence so far says its bullshit.

of course.. i know you have studied this field intensely

It's sad that this is tainted in unfounded propaganda, based on on discredited fields of science, as the topic of manipulation through television and in specific tools and techniques used for it is interesting.

well, intensely might be a bit of a stretch...

where do you practice, clinical or out-patient setting?

i practice on my grandmother

well, you obviously have enough expertise in the field to use the "oh, you don't study it" defense.

did i upset you?

i dont care what you think of the video really. i was just putting out an interesting view on the subject.

take it as you will

OH GOD, the ok symbol is 666...it has somehow power over people's minds...he's using his sorcery to manipulate his mind...

yes, actually. Unless you have some accredation in linguistics, cognitive science, or clinical psychology, you don't have the background in relevant subjects to dismiss others' opinions, simply because they don't study the field. you don't study the ****ing field.

That type of argument style does get under my skin, because people who do actually have a great deal of expertise in a field should be helping others understand it, not using their knowledge as a badge of supremecy

The guy uses neuro-linguistic programming, as if it was a synonym of professor x-ian brainwashing/telepathy.
