Lie Spotting

Update at the end. 
"A lie has no power whatsoever by its mere utterance; its power emerges when someone else agrees to believe the lie.” ~ Pamela Meyer 
"On any given day we're lied to from 10 to 200 times, and the clues to detect those lie can be subtle and counter-intuitive. Pamela Meyer, author of Liespotting, shows the manners and "hotspots" used by those trained to recognize deception -- and she argues honesty is a value worth preserving. 
Pamela Meyer thinks we’re facing a pandemic of deception, but she’s arming people with tools that can help take back the truth."
Just in time for tonight's Vice Presidential debate and to cap off the past week of local lies.




Update: if you watched the Vice Presidential debate you got to see massive lying and lie spotting played out. Favorite body language of the night is here and also this comment.
