Andrew Bolt's Blog,16/7/18; Bolt's on Drugs and is Sky High; Lying with statistics telling us a giraffe isn't a giraffe because it's a donkey; What Bolt didn't forget about Israel but fails to mention;

SKY HIGH

Offering an alternative to the ABC's Left-wing news shows has worked for Sky: "Earlier this year the broadcaster doubled down on a programming formula of pugnacious [??], strong opinion programs and breaking news coverage... The move has paid off with a 9 per cent bump in the average audience during the first half of the ratings year."

 Statistics don't lie Australia doesn't watch Sky. No Sky is not a Fox News USA

Fake News sure is Sky is booming OFF A SMALL BASE. Weekly figures show Bolt has an average audience of less than 50,000 nation wide. That represents less than 2.5% of the total audience of the 2 -2.5 mill subscribers to Foxtel. Put that up againsr 4.mill viewers watching The Project 5 nights a week or the ABC, Sky High is a flop. His base isn't across Australia it's only Foxtel.
Yes they are high but it's not on any truth drug that's for sure.
Bolt claims they are doing it without our taxes. The Bolt Report is a tax deduction of 30% Bolt has been a deduction his whole career. That alone is a subsidy that's questionable if he's a perennial loss to a company that avoids tax and accepts Corporate Welfare like the unexplained $30 mill given to Murdoch then yes he's totally taxpayer subsidized. Foxtel maybe making a profit but there is no evidence that Sky is or the Bolt Report is a pot of gold.

RECORD COLD IN AUSTRALIA

But when it's record cold, the news reports don't mention global warming: "A cold snap has delivered some of the chilliest temperatures in decades to parts of Australia’s east coast... Both Parkes and Cowra in New South Wales have set new all-time coldest minimum temperature records today."

Yes Bolt's lying with statistics again showing his ignorance. Global Climate Science is not Meteorolgy guess Bolt attempting to disprove a whole area of science by sticking his head out Aussie  windows and saying it's cold. One can be glad so few Australians listen to Andrew Bolt who has barely any ratings to speak of and is simply a lone voice on a soapbox.

 

WHAT THE ABC 'FORGOT' TO SAY ABOUT ISRAEL'S ATTACK

The Hamas terrorist group fired more than 200 rockets and mortars from Gaza at Israel, injuring three. In retaliation, Israel bombed Hamas militant targets, killing two youths. Guess which half of this exchange was totally omitted by the ABC in its weekend report? Guess which angle its AM report today lavished most attention on?

 News by ommission Bolt spent the last 3 months omitting Israeli atrocities and criminal action against Gaza 50% of which are children. Israel excuses blunt force and carnage and calls it all collateral and necessary damage. However the world is no longer listening.

MUNDINE VS BONGIORNO, AS ABC DUCKS

How the Left hates Warren Mundine won't let slide Paul Borngiorno's racial insult, nor accept the ABC's pathetic handwashing: "'Uncle Tom' is a racial slur... I am one of the people Mr Bongiorno’s tweet was directed at... It is... disgraceful that the ABC would continue to hire a regular commentator that uses this expression without requiring him to apologise."

Redefining the nature of bullying is best described when Bolt declares Sky News and it's format of bullying the victims of those it targets to get rid of. His bullying is by the most trusted and respected media force in the country to which he's doing a Trump anti-media blitz on the ABC. Mimicking Fox News how originanal. However Fox News has the ear of 34% of America whereas Sky News after 6pm has only less than 10% of Foxtel viewers and Bolt less than 2%.

MUSK IN 'PEDO' SLUR

The only person to come out looking shabby after the miracle rescue in Thailand is Elon Musk: "Elon Musk has launched a bizarre attack on a British cave diver who played a crucial role in the rescue of the Thai soccer team, calling the rescuer a 'pedo' because he lives in Thailand." This will cost him.

 The only reason Bolt has bothered to target Musk is because he's a leader of renewable technologies. When you can't attack the science attack the man. Isn't that bullying?

HOW THE ABC STITCHED UP TRUMP

The ABC ran only part of this quote from Donald Trump. Guess which, and why?: "The European Union is a foe, what they do to us in trade. Now, you wouldn't think of the European Union, but they're a foe. Russia is a foe in certain respects. China is a foe economically... But that doesn't mean they are bad... It means that they are competitive."

Redefining language to protect Trump is exactly what Fox does but they often get that arse about. Fox claimed Trump had every right to criticize May but oops, before Trump said he never did wires crossed between these two star struck lovers. Foe in any language if polled isn't presumed to be simply a competitor.  Bolt does however make a moot point " having no practiical relevance". I guess that's why Bolt's and Sky's ratings are also argued as a "moot point"
