ANDREW BOLT|Old Dog Thoughts |
News Corporation employs Andrew Bolt and provides him with a platform ensuring the inequality of speech. Bolt's Blog not only advocates conservative, right wing and Tea Party views it moderates out most opposing opinions which he is entitled to do. However Andrew Bolt simply lies when he says he provides an arena for fair and balanced discussion in a no spin zone. He doesn't it's all spin.

Andrew Bolt's Blog,13/12/18; Fox for laughs; Bolt and Shorten seeming discussion; Feeling overcrowded;
A man has labelled as ‘absolutely disgusting’ the amount of contrived outrage that passes for comment these days. “It’s repulsive,” John Ribley wrote in the comments section of a national media website, before tweeting his concerns, using the hashtag #disgrace. “Sorry, but this is just another example of what’s wrong with this country. People taking a non-issue and then turning it into some sort of major concern, as if they’re outraged by it. It’s absolutely sickening – someone should resign over this”. He said it typified what was wrong with this country right now. “This manufactured outrage over the smallest thing is the worst thing that’s happened since WWII. Just awful”.
SHORTEN 'STARED ME DOWN'? SERIOUSLY?
Bizarre. I had a willing but mutually courteous and respectful conversation with Bill Shorten, but the Guardian Australia reported it as if Shorten had braved some terrible monster: "Bill Shorten stares down Andrew Bolt and says he would unite employers and unions as PM." What cartoonishly Manichean world does the writer inhabit?
How egotistical is Bolt? In the clips Bolt showed on his posts today Shorten had Bolt saying just how personally he was concerned about the Capital Gains added to "his house" laughing and indicating a body language suggesting that was an inappropriate answer to be made in public. No interest in servicing common good Shorten wanted for the next generation. Yes, there was Bolt an unconvincing Gordan Gekko "stared down" by Bill Shorten.
Bolt's other video clip had him ask the loaded question what degree of change can Australia make to the global rise in temperature? The fact is Australia can make a difference to the world's effort of 150 countries combined. We aren't looking at a huge figure which Bolt knows but clearly sees as an opportunity to echo "no change" but it's not the issue. It's about de-accelerating the rate that is occurring and doing it by transitioning to cheaper technologies. Shorten had Bolt agreeing when he knew he shouldn't and the video was cut there with Bolt looking as if he were on the back foot. So yes Shorten did STARE BOLT DOWN" and show Bolt for what he is an extremely poor interviewer not really in control of his subject matter..... Seriously just a pussy of a Gordan Gekko. Go look at
yourself again Bolt without your rose coloured glasses.
Bolt doesn't want to lose any of the privileges he's accrued especially the ones gained not through his labour, productivity but capital gain. The fear of falling prices of the gains earned through social status is an anathema to him because greed is good and capital gains a natural reward. So much so Bolt doesn't even want to ensure that his children have the same start or advantage as he had when he started out should it cost him a cent. But that's Capitalism and it's greed and he will part with what he regards his just rewards give it to them when he's dead. You can go back to past posts and see his mindset when he said " I have to take my family on holiday" I'm the only breadwinner in the family". Not w 'we' in Bolt's worldview. Notice his uncomfortable laugh along with his body language it looked so awkward for him to admit to Shorten he was concerned about losing the value the of his houses, so much so he blurted out 'house' when we know he has more than one. By the way, Bolt somehow blamed the current fall in prices as a fault of Shortens as well. How dare he reveal that the banks are corporate criminals with his Royal Commission and look what harm it's caused. Only Bolt deserves more. The Royal Commission into banks has hampered that and therefore bad. However, a commission into unions was good even if nothing was found don't bother about the results. It was a distraction that Bolt and the Murdochians could crow about never mind that the Unions were fundamentally fault-free not so the banks. The problem for Bolt is clear and dangerous Shorten wants a more equal distribution of unproductive wealth. Capital gained not through labour which would allow others like Bolt to get a head start through their labour and not just marriage alone or inheritance as Bolt might have.
12m1 Bolt's called Bill Shorten a liar whose making false claims. However, Shorten's honesty blew Bolt out of the water. Bolt seems to want 'exact' answers from science irrefutable ones when he can't supply any himself. The fact is Science isn't an exact system it's a probable one and it's a continued inquiry. It's scepticism. That's why it's conclusions are based on probability and a rigid methodology as a tester. Not so Bolt's denials however his deniers position is based neither on curiosity nor any systematic method of testing itself. It's based rather on self-interest than any effort of objectivity or even the notion of a common good. Bolt's denials are in the interest of the corporate elect and their dwindling investors in control of our major sources of energy stocks and that's only a minority. Shorten's outcome goals are for a cheaper, cleaner and more efficient forms of energy and that's an admirable goal given that the outcome when achieved is progressive and is for the betterment of everyone a common good. Bolt's question "what would cuts do to global temperature" is a loaded one that only a denier could ask. A politician who is in power for some 4-8 years when it's taken the planet some 200 years to bring us to a 1 degree in the earth's temperature a rise now recognized as due to mankind. The acceleration of emissions is on target to make it even a greater rise but in numbers seem only small of an extra 1- 0.5 extra degree if greater the consequences dire. Prevention is a global combined effort needed now to reduce emissions and so that the improved consequences might be experienced in another 200 years. That requires a long and complex answer involving science whereas Bolt's simplistic denial doesn't. Deniers aren't in the business of truth just paid persuasion and seeming doubt and nevermind the goals even Bolt couldn't deny that renewables are fast becoming cheaper, cleaner and healthier alternative to the environmental destruction of Fossil Fuels
Bolt clear he's not interested about a global effort he's only interested in a no effort Australia and fuck the rest. Bolt's not interested in leaving his children or grandchildren a cleaner place he's only interested in leaving them his accumulated wealth. A jump start, if his kids need air purifiers then they can buy them but not now while he's alive. His future is immediate not over the horizon. His questions are aimed to set Shorten up nothing more. Bolt Hum'd and I'd when Shorten asked him the less complicated are renewables are getting cheaper "yes er, um but then lots of technologies are" and then cut the video because that's PROGRESS. There's a rush to invest in renewables divest from Fossil Fuels because they are not only cheaper but deliver better outcomes and the once free marketeers want governments like Trump's to step in.
3h Victoria "feel" overcrowded yes it does the $3 billion dollars withheld by Abbott on behalf of the Napthine government for infrastructure is still withheld. Any wonder we feel squeezed yet the state is booming much to the disgust of the LNP. Bolt is calling for Socialist action stopping Immigration when and against the want of the BCA yes the free marketeers the Business Council of Australia. They want skilled labour. They need immigrants to pay for the taxes our aging population won't. Overcrowding is a feeling its cause has been hidden and its consequence not analysed all for a cheap political gain which Economists, Business, logistics say isn't "insane" is necessary. The discomfort felt today was caused by the same regressive politicians that refuse to do anything about it. Daniel Andrews is doing the hard yards that Bolt wants to be stopped.
White Christians don't commit crimes when they are persecuted they drop bombs or pay others to do it. It's why they have military forces in 154 countries and a big stick. If a single Muslim commits a crime Andre Bolt and the Murdochians want every Australian to know about it. If they happen to be Christian immigrants the Bolt is silent on their religion but raises their profile to their colour, ethnicity, and culture. Any negative stereotype is free to be used as a hammer.
WHAT YOUR LEADERS WOULDN'T SAY ABOUT IMMIGRATION
Just hours after a Muslim terror suspect murdered two people and left a third brain-dead at a Christmas market in France, our political leaders met to work out how to handle our insane immigration intake. But they refused to discuss a key concern that has most Australians demanding that intake be cut - the fear that our culture is fraying.
Bolt just repeats himself over and over again and has the resources handed to him on a platter to do it. If White Christian Nationalists run amok anywhere as they do in America Bolt ignores it and even ignores the cry for gun control and the increased rate of the events occurring. Shouldn't we ask why Bolt seems to feel the need for every crime committed globally by a Muslim in the Western world to be conflated with our Immigration policies? It's as if that crime were committed in your street? If you took Muslim immigrants out of our intake Bolt's "insane immigration intake" would hardly drop so his reasoning isn't immigration numbers it's White Ethnocentric bigotry. Isn't it strange Bolt when referring to Christian Sudanese doesn't mention their Religion yet equates them to Muslims and terror. He does the same when disparaging Aborigines he blames their "culture" and avoids mentioning they are in fact practising Christians more so than he an agnostic is. These aren't the words of a journalist or even a commentator. These are the words of hate-speech a serial vilifier of Australians, who one wonders isn't dragged before our courts on a regular basis to do jail time under our RDA 'Truly shocking': Ice-addled speedster kills Uber-driving dad
39m Labour doesn't want better care for sick children that the current government isn't going to give them in five years seems to suggest they need better care. That's the last thing Bolt would offer them, Aborigines or Sudanese because "better" means pampering and not punishment. Bolt's preference would be their heads on pikes as a warning to anyone wanting to come here that he doesn't agree with. Strange and he regards the ALP has a hidden message. You see according to Andrew Bolt our doctors can't be trusted because their Hypocratic Oath makes the 'activists' Judges can't be trusted because our legal system is too fair with an ideology that declares equality for everyone and the right of asylum seekers not to be treated as "illegals" by simply denying them that right. Bolt's a regular redefiner of language which he then calls debate. He's Indigenous Science is a Religion and of course asylum seekers if desperate and come by boat are Illegals being processed for eternity yes they are his 1100 heads on pikes but that's ok because there are so few women and children.
1h3 Bolt didn't see it that way when Abbott was dumped nor would he have seen it that way when Dutton only had 35 votes. Had Turnbull stayed and won yet again Bolt certainly wouldn't have called it a "Big Win". It was, however, a "Big Loss" for Boris Tony Abbott's mate and a "Big Loss" for the Party's Conservatives. So why is Bolt reporting it as a "Big Win"?
