Lying To The Camera

Last night WFMY broadcast an exclusive interview with the CEOs of JP and Lincoln Financial. It was clear that they wanted to put the people of Greensboro at ease about the takeover, sorry "merger."

Lincoln Financial's CEO, Jon Boscia, said that after the initial job cuts growth will continue for the next 20 to 30 years. "Life insurance HQ and operations center will remain in Greensboro. So I think for us to be able to say that those jobs are going to be here the building is gonna be here." (I picked up that quote from WFMY's website. As he is speaking these words during the interview broadcast on the 11:00 newscast, Boscia is shaking his head from side-to-side).

I don't know much about body language, but it seemed a clear indication that Mr. Boscia did not really believe what he was saying. Unfortunately, the WFMY webcast does not include this portion of the interview.
