We are mostly moderate to conservative which is not the views of the paper that employs her.

She is a columnist, her opinions are part of what she does, just as most of the people who opine on those networks I mentioned as well as the columnists who are printed by the Sun. The very point of my post was that you should consider her work even if "she is not supportive of your views".

And I presume you think the commentators on those networks I mentioned are "fair and balanced"? I said in my post that even if you don't like her you should examine the evidence, I didn't say that was proof she was offering part or all the evidence, just that an examination might be worthwhile.
Every time I suggest someone should open their mind on this forum I, or my post gets attacked. I find it frustrating but humerous.
