You cannot have a discussion with someone like Soledad. A normal discussion holds the posibility (I would say: the hope) that you might educate me, and with a bit of luck, the possibility that I might educate you. We discuss. We both learn. In the end, we are both better off. Discussion is a great thing.

Soledad does not discuss.

Soledad conducts an interview according to this guideline: "Shut up, Sir, and let me defend Obama."

What's the point of talking to someone like that?

You are not talking to Soledad, you are talking to her audience.

The probability that you will cause Soledad to come out and say "You're right, Obama is an idiot" is about the same as you having been able to get OJ's legal team to concede, during his trial, that he was guilty. And for the same reasons.

Soledad is being paid to advance a particular narrative. As long as her producer tells her what she's supposed to support, that's what she will do, regardless of what she might personally think.
