Down-&-to-the-left, Bin Salman lies to Norah O'DONNELL about the murder

Did O'DONNELL believe him? There are trainings about how to tell whether the subject is lying in interviews: If their eyes move down-and-to-the-left as they say the thing. I have zero expertise for vouching for it, even if so whether it can apply cross-culturally. But in this interview about the interview there are vibes that smack of Shrub's seeing PUTIN's soul and SHITLER's believing what PUTIN and whatever other tyrant tell him about their non-culpability.

She does the flashy ask-the-ONE-QUESTION and lets it lie there. And in the secondary interview, skips on by that topic and moves right along to "what really matters to us" (Iran) and the Deep Thoughts of BIN SALMAN on that.

What piqued me here was the down-and-to-the-left thing. Perhaps some of our crack investigators here will know about it.

If a 'subject' looks to the left (up or down), he or she is lying. If the subject looks up and to the right -sometimes down and to the right, he or she is probably telling the truth...

My interview would have started with a bit more acid. Did you listen to the audio of him being dismembered while he was alive? Were you listening as it happened?
