I wonder if Bill O’Reilly will summon his own body language expert to The Factor set to review the body language of his fearless leader and son?
From what I could see, squirming would not be too far from an accurate description. Of course, an attempted pie-in-the-face surely helped to remind everyone about the public outrage surrounding the whole sordid mess. It has made the Murdoch name the News of The World…. ironically.
Judi on the other hand is one of the UK’s leading body language and behaviour experts. She has written many books on the subject, including The Body Language Bible and The You Code – What Everything You Do Says About You, and appears regularly on Sky News and the BBC analysing politicians during the election.
JUDI SAYS:
It was a stunning double act. From the outset the mirrored body language of Rupert Murdoch and his son James showed they were presenting a united front.
The two sat side-by-side at the table, facing forwards with their hands in a uniform gesture, clasped loosely on the desk in front of them.
The handclasp is a restraining gesture – it prevents the speaker from over-gesticulating and stops them fiddling, which can be seen to be a suspicious, nervous act.
Crucially, with both hands on the table and out in the open, this is a gesture that conveys honesty and openness.
If there had been media coaching before the interview, it was here that it showed, and throughout the interview, the two returned to this ‘pole position’ many times.

Will Bill O'Reilly Call Out His Body Language Expert's On The Murdoch's?
Rupert Murdoch Lies About Obama Racist Comment
Earlier this month, News Corp. president Rupert Murdoch said that President Obama made "a very racist comment" when Obama inserted himself into the July spat between Prof. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Officer Jim Crowley. Murdoch also said Fox News host Glenn Beck "was right" to say Obama is a "racist" with a "deep-seated hatred for white people." Today on Capitol Hill, Media Matters’ staffers asked Murdoch to be more specific about what "racist" comments Obama allegedly made, but Murdoch denied he had made the charge:
MMFA: Mr. Murdoch, can you be more specific about what racist comments the President allegedly made?
MURDOCH: I denied that absolutely. I don’t believe he’s a racist.
"But you said that he made racist statements," the staffer noted as Murdoch walked away.

O'Reilly & Olbermann Get A Timeout From The Brass
Rivalry between some of the cable news channels has started to escalate beyond simple name calling and bragging over ratings.
It seems that MSNBC and FOX NEWS are leading the way with thier daily banter that is starting to look more like an east coast / west coast gangsta rap war.
For example, on July 9, Olbermann, commenting on reports that Murdoch's London tabloids had to settle lawsuits for illegal wiretaps, said "why did News Corp. go to all that trouble, rather than just get the secret personal information from the Bush administration?"
O'Reilly, meanwhile, accused NBC News on June 18 of being in President Obama's pocket and said last month that "there is compelling evidence that NBC is giving President Obama favorable treatment so that GE will be awarded billions, billions, in government contracts."
A Fox News spokeswoman said "we can't comment on any meeting that may or may not have taken place between Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Immelt," while a News Corp. spokeswoman declined to comment. A General Electric spokesperson was unavailable to comment.
News Corp. chief Rupert Murdoch (FOX) and General Electric chief Jeffrey Immelt (MSNBC) met up at -- appropriately enough -- the Microsoft CEO summit in Redmond, Wash., to figure out how to diffuse tensions between the two channels, Company Town has learned. The primary focus of the chit-chat was the back-and-forth sniping between MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and Fox's Bill O'Reilly. The two often exchange insults, Olbermann by name, O'Reilly by insinuation.
If Immelt and Murdoch took their message of peace and love back to their respective news channels, it doesn't seem to have taken. Olbermann, who generally is the aggressor, has been attacking Fox News and O'Reilly on a regular basis. O'Reilly still takes occasional shots at MSNBC, NBC and General Electric.
A Fox News spokeswoman said "we can't comment on any meeting that may or may not have taken place between Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Immelt," while a News Corp. spokeswoman declined to comment. A General Electric spokesperson was unavailable to comment.
While Fox News and MSNBC don't get along, News Corp. and NBC are in bed together on other ventures including, most prominently, video site Hulu.com, which also counts Walt Disney Co. among its owners.
Since Murdoch and Immelt seem unable to get these two to play nice, maybe President Obama can bring them all in for a beer.
