THE ANDREW BOLT PODCAST: THE CHRISTCHURCH MASSACRE
I discuss the Christchurch massacre: what it means and what some people say it means - but shouldn't. And two Australian Catholic priests freed in three months after being unjustly convicted. Will George Pell be the third? Does this show Catholic priests are too often assumed guilty? Listen here. UPDATE: LINK FIXED

Like Trump listen to Bolt appear to play 2 sides but is still playing one. Toning it down a notc today will he still be toning it down the rest of the year?

Bolt's podcast: Here we have Andrew Bolt whose anti-moderate politics, tribalises anyone daring to call for moderation as a "lefty" or anyone saying 'we' in politics a centre-left whoos. Any group complaining about not getting a fair go is tribal. Conservatives included However, who he claims are the real victims in his reality.
All Andrew Bolt desperately trying to do here is defend himself from a mass murderer whose manifesto sounded more Bolt than anything on the left. What's rattled Bolt is that this mass murderer had a Manifesto and it was alt-right. In short, we have Bolt doing a Trump after Charlottesville saying there is good and bad on both sides, and this was the misguided act of an individual. "I,m really a good guy because all I want is to talk."
Firstly remember when after Barcelona Bolt spoke of how he admired the conviction of the young Jihadis' beliefs that brought them to fight in what they believed. Back then he said he wished Westerners had that same conviction in their's, and it was time they showed it instead of showing their cowardice? Well, Bolt revealed that to be either bullshit or what it is he's saying in his podcast is. It sounded very much an attempt to radicalise some White Christians to fight back. Some only because it's not meant to apply to his sons. Now he doesn't want Dom caught in the "crossfire".
Bolt has made so many indications he'd gladly put on a uniform and fight for this country and expect the kids of today to do so. Another Gallipoli or another Vietnam was in order but not "his" kids of course. That's the sort of hypocrite Andrew Bolt is. However, let's make a reasoned guess about his son Dom whose, not part of this disgusting hardly reasoned or apologetic podcast He is still the dad's tech on it.
Bolt's deflecting trying to seem calm on the surface like a duck on water but paddling like hell underneath. Bolt doesn't just talk about Immigration he's not the misunderstood victim of anything. If anyone has listened to him and remembered Cronulla, he's Alan Jones.
They aren't misinterpreted victims but provocateurs. The danger is that they want to be seen as free speech martyrs in a Democratic Agora where everyone including corporations is meant to be seen as equal, but they're not. Bolt's not on a fruit box he works for those who own the Agora.
Jacinda Adern was right in a true Democracy the Agora is the nation and al citizens "us". Andrew Bolt still insists it's not but a political divide at war. Did he say Abbott shouldn't have sent troops to the Middle East to bomb the crap out of families no he cheered? He was for the lies that excused the invasion of Iraq from where ISIS resulted. Is that his form of political discussion? He's totally against Multilateralism the UN and that forum of debate, and he runs the Bolt Report as an antithesis to debate. He was never for or wanted reasoned discussion then and since Abbott never wanted our parliamentary democracy to work. He wanted and still wants a takeover by an extreme right of this country again lead by Tony Abbott.
For Bolt, anyone against that is "tribalist' Aborigines calling for the Bolt-shiviks to get their foot off their neck are just 'tribalists'. Waleed Aly is a" tribalist " outspoken women are "tribalists". How often have we heard Bolt call them that yet he doesn't say that of himself? Aborigines want justice, not for themselves but all of us, Waleed wants justice for all of us. Bolt alt-right don't want that because it just may mean the loss of privileges. So no need to do anything but policing these complainers or those he sees as complainers who step out of line, structurally, institutionally and culturally guard against and drive them out of existence. That's the soft sounding Bolt the snake who resides among us. He's standing naked for all to see.
Ultimately Bolt like Howard, like Morrison, like Abbott all saw the political opportunity in a division between "them" and "us " However that politics also encouraged the UPF, Reclaim Australia and Brenton Tarrant We have seen the increase of these groups since 2013 and Tony Abbott's Team Australia, and promoted by Andrew Bolt defining those not good enough all this time. However today he's playing Trump after Charlottesville saying "There is good and bad on both sides." but never when a Muslim does, it or Africans do it.
Will Bolt be finally banned or charged under our RDA laws again instead of allowing him to point to Jane Carrow for what Bolt has been doing daily for years he's not the victim of racism and never has been.

“it is easy to condemn the far right nut case,” but dealing with the “soil and what's been created, the culture of demonization, of fear, of incitement from main stream columnists, pundits, TV hosts, and politicians” is another matter entirely.
We have been conditioned to believe that a terrorist attack is only an attack carried out by a brown dude with a beard shouting something in Arabic.
Of course, statistics show otherwise. The ADL says three-quarters of terrorist deaths in the United States over the past decade were carried out by far right domestic white nationalist terrorists, a quarter by Muslims.
Can we say that the media coverage of terrorism in this country is 75 percent white nationalists, 25 percent Islamic terrorists? In face, Georgia State University did a study. They found that a Muslim terrorist gets four and a half times as much coverage of his crimes as a non-Muslim terrorist. Four and a half times.
a non-Muslim terrorist has to kill, on average, seven people more than a Muslim terrorist to get equal coverage, as a Muslim terrorist. That's a hashtag media fail. And I'm always reminded of that old viral tweet that terrorism is one of the only areas where white people do most of the work and get none of the credit.
A spike in censorship: Israel censored on average one news piece a day in 2018 | +972 Magazine
Andrew Bolt is Pro Israel and says he's pro-free speech he's joking, isn't he?
The IDF Censor prohibited the publication of more news reports last year than in almost any other year this decade. While fewer articles were submitted for review than in previous years, the percentage of stories that were partially or fully censored was significantly higher.
Beyond the direct harm to freedom of the press – with 22,371 stories over the past eight years that were disqualified entirely or in part – it is likely to assume that the mere existence of a censor creates a chilling effect. Israeli journalists know what issues they cannot report on, and often simply avoid them to begin with.

Bolt comes to life and the very first thing you notice it's a PAYWALL. 2) Tarrant's a winner he wanted his reference to Tarrant's inspiration was "the radicalisation that helped inspire it". I can only assume that comment aligns with a right winger who cheered when post 9/11 the conservatives effectively lied to the world to justify the invasion of Iraq which gave rise to ISIL Since then Bolt has been looking for a Tarrant to fight with the conviction of Muslim Jihadis. After Barcelona, he called Western Christians weak. He even said he admired the conviction with which Jihadis fought. Well someone in Christchurch heard Bolt's voice, the voice of an ultra-right-wing spruiker in a suit just as we listened to the voice of ISIS on social media we heard Bolt on MSM.
ISIS had young Australians leave the country to fight in the Middle East. Bolt hoped to create and radicalise Muslims here along with Abbott for political gain "to keep us Safe" and justify his belly cry of "Who let them in". However, all he did was inspire White nationalists and neo-nazis to come out of the closet wanting to fight. The only thing that stopped them in Australia was our gun laws. Tarrant winning is not a "he" state on Bolt's part; it's more a "we".

Christchurch: The 'how' is explainable. The 'why' is harder to digest
Scott Morrison is right to say these problems have been with us for many years. But he would do better to point out that our downward trajectory sharply accelerated after John Howard’s “dark victory” of 2001. The unwinnable election was won on the back of the arrival of asylum seekers on the MV Tampa in August followed by the September 11 attacks, and at the price of John Howard and the Liberal party embracing the white supremacist extremist politics of Pauline Hanson.
Both major parties, it must be said, succumbed to the lure of giving focus groups and pollsters the tough language and inhumane policies the public appeared to demand and reward. We are now beginning to see the true price that we have paid with the demonising of those arriving by boat seeking asylum, or looking too dark-skinned, or appearing too religious.
The result has been such a cacophony of hateful rhetoric that it has been hard for those tasked with spotting the emergence of violent extremism to separate it from all the background noise of extremism.

TWO CATHOLIC PRIESTS WRONGLY CONVICTED. IS PELL THE THIRD?
COLUMN John Francis Tyrrell walked free from jail last week, an innocent man ruined. Just last December, another Catholic, former Adelaide archbishop Philip Wilson, was also freed. Also wrongly convicted, said a judge. Two such cases in just three months should make many media commentators pause. Is George Pell the third? Is there a frenzy to convict?
PAYWALL
Bolt's really something, isn't he? If he wants to put Pell's conviction into context, he could have said there were 7000 priests globally being convicted or charged for sexual molestation and that's just the tip of the iceberg 2 in Australia were found not guilty on appeal. The media then according to Bolt ought to have pause because of the 7000. 0.03% were let off. Pretty impressive math logic on Bolt's part don't you think? The law, however, isn't expected to judge on stereotype each case has to be heard and assessed on its own individual merits. That's what British justice demands.
Those 7000 cases mind you are just the tip of the iceberg and what the media is justified in doing is what Andrew Bolt does with Aborigines, South Sudanese, Lebanese and Muslims when he righteously suggests that they are all so some degree suspects. Bolt wants to own both sides of the coin when arguing.
Bolt regularly shows his ignorance. Black racism is deserved anger and understood. White Racism is a systemic disadvantage and lack of opportunity in our society that hardly justifies the passion or ease with which whites apply it. The Accor Hotels in Alice Springs are an example. When Bolt's society had and still has their Colonial foot institutionally on the throats of Indigenous Australians their anger is justified and historically understandable. When Bolt says he has the right to be angry at their anger, it's not justified. White man Bolt might be a victim of justifiable anger, but that's not Racism. White entitlement is part of the very structure of Australian society
