mhaze,

A debate can't take place when there's a big gap between the
participants.

I stopped reading your post after your comment on Madeline
Albright.

mhaze,

Well, I went back and read your post - just to be fair.

All I've got to add is that there's nothing unique about
a subordinate defending her boss, especially if she's
asked about the despicable President she serves by the
media.

Nothing wrong with defending your boss, however Trump's defense of his Putin,, is well subject to much review even in Trump's own party, seems he has been taking gifts at his business HQ clearly against the law and under investigation.

"there's nothing unique about
a subordinate defending her boss"

Agreed. Haley's comments on Trump need to be taken with a grain of salt since she clearly has some bias.

But why is it that you think Albright's comment are valid when, given her very clear bias and hatred for all things Trump, they ought to be taken with the same measure of salt?

Do you not see your own bias there?

mhaze,

What the former US Secretary of State has expressed was
her concerns for Donald Trump's actions regarding
freedom of speech, the role of the media and his disregard
for American Institutions, this among other things, worried
her. She spoke from her vast experience in politics. She is
now retired, so she's in a position to remark on what's
currently happening in her country. She can be brutally
honest without any fear of losing her job. So I'm not sure
about any bias. But aren't we all biased to some degree?
I found her commentary on the 7.30 Report useful.

"So I'm not sure about any bias. "

Wow. The woman was anti-Trump from the get-go. She's been consistently anti-Republican for 30yrs. She came out during the election as so pro-Hilary that she said women should be compelled to vote for her.

Yet you see no bias!

"But aren't we all biased to some degree?"

Yes. But the trick is recognising it in ourselves and in others. Failure to do either will lead to error and bewilderment when things don't turn out as expected. Those failures are the root cause of the rage about Trump's election and successes. So many failed to see their own bias against Trump to recognise his support elsewhere and were then outraged when denial of the existence of that support was no longer possible. And their bias has blinded them to the successes of the past 18 months.

"I found her commentary on the 7.30 Report useful."

Might I suggest you found it confirmatory...one being easily mistaken for the other.
