Well, I praised Malaysia recently, so here goes for Myanmar!

Well done indeed in finding a way out of this bind. Sometimes hard to take the moral high road. The air has definitely cleared with this news.

Aung San Suu Kyi - the world had such high hopes for you. What happened, woman? 

Anyway, glad these two reporters have been released. Excellent news. Thanks for those in the U.S. (not the trump admin) who kept up the pressure!

Great these men are out, but come on, We’re not in school. How do you know that Trump didn’t work behind the scenes to help get these people out? You don’t know that, you are just speculating again.

You're speculating that he did help. And we know he wouldn't because Trump despises journalists, because they tell other people the things he says and does.

What makes you think Trump helped? It's not like these two journalists are working for Fox News.

The Myanmar government undeniably and thuggishly entrapped the reporters. They should not get the least respect for this pardon.

I never said, i wasn’t speculating. As for despising journalists, No, he loves Tucker Carlson, so wrong there.

because they tell other people the things he says and does.

If that were true then he would listen to his favorite journalists and he doesn’t. Believe or not, the man has his own opinions. The main thing is these men are out, whether Trump played a part in it or not is irrelevant.

I don't think he has any favorite actual journalists. I know there are some people at Fox "News" that he likes, but they are simply propaganda mouth pieces whom the Mueller report found altered their reporting according to Trump's demands. I don't believe he actually likes any real media, he just likes his fake-news propaganda agency that does his bidding.

Tucker Carlson is not a journalist.

Tucker Carlson is not a journalist.

If that were true then he would listen to his favorite journalists and he doesn’t. Believe or not, the man has his own opinions.

He gives major deference to his favourite "journalists" (i.e. Fox News personalities).

The main thing is these men are out, whether Trump played a part in it or not is irrelevant.

Then it's weird you started musing that Trump was really helping them the whole time.
