CHRISTCHURCH: DO THE GREENS HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS?
COLUMN The massacre of Muslims in Christchurch by a white Australian racist should make the Greens ask themselves: do they have blood on their hands? Didn’t they see that encouraging migrants, Aborigines, Muslims and others to identify by their “race” would force some threatened white losers to identify by their own? Then there's the violence...
White Nationalism’s Most Powerful Accelerant
All that matters is that this mass murderer, like so many who have preceded him of late, is a young man moved to violence by an international ideology of fascism—exhilarating, purpose-driven, meaningful. Ultimately, intoxicating. This ideology has entered the mainstream over the last decade to a degree unseen in my lifetime, finding adherents at the highest levels of power around the world. And the primary accelerant fueling this inferno is the internet. However, it's there, and Murdoch media has been supporting it for years.
Bolt has been working "as pilot fish for more extreme figures, their efforts, in concord with the YouTube algorithm, rapidly draw viewers toward more extreme fare. And there’s seemingly nothing they fear more than demonetization, deplatforming and an overnight plunge back into obscurity, à la Milo Yiannopoulos and Alex Jones."
The most effective way of stopping him as we have seen by his reactions is to turn his advertisers away; it's what he fears most.
How bothered is Bolt by his yelling match with Di Natale he's been blogging podcasting writing and now back on TV about it? He didn't spend that amount of time on the NZ massacre as he's done on this. It indicates just how badly he thinks he performed and he did perform poorly. Let's just assume somebody including himself is desperately trying to make up ground. Panic is panic and Bolt's punching blindly at thin air. Hope his advertisers are watching just how badly this man performs in the rational world.
ON THE BOLT REPORT TONIGHT - MARK LATHAM, AND TRUMP VINDICATED

MASSIVE FAKE NEWS FAIL: TRUMP CLEARED OF COLLUSION
Removing Trump won't remove the infrastructure of the party that embraced him; the dark money that funded him; the online radicalisation that drummed his army; nor the racism he amplified and reanimated. Trump is a symptom, not the cause.
What we know:
- Special counsel Robert Mueller turned over his long-awaited final report on the contentious Russia investigation
- Attorney-General William Barr has now issued his four-page summary of the report
- That summary said the report did not find that President Donald Trump committed a crime, but also did not exonerate him
- Read our full story here or read the four-page summary here

MODEL BEHAVIOUR
Then: "Adau Mornyang has called for South Sudanese community leaders and parents to take control of the teens who have been involved in violent crime." Now: "A prominent model... faces a possible 21 years in an American jail after drunkenly attacking an attendant on a flight from Melbourne... Adau Mornyang, 24, will be sentenced in June."
PAYWALL
If your South Sudanese then Andrew Bolt is watching you what you say and your behaviour anywhere and everywhere if you live in Melbourne and put a foot wrong then the heat is on. You represent the whole community of South Sudanese in this country and at times all Africans.
Why is Bolt tribalizing Adau when two days ago he insisted we are just all individuals, and every one of us can make errors of judgement and commit offences. After all, Bolt did, and his accusers could have sought further compensatory justice and didn't. His lawyers didn't appeal the guilty verdict suggesting they too didn't believe his claim of innocence.
Why is Bolt electing to shine his heavy light on this young girl? Because Adau is South Sudanese, she's black and possibly a refugee but mainly because she's Bolt's unwanted immigrant. Bolt wouldn't have brought her up had she been white middle class and Dutch. They too commit crimes some much more violent than Adau's and Bolt never mentions them because they are regarded as misdemeanours.
Yes, white upper-class girls also commit crimes which more often are more severe and are let off. Adau isn't representative of her class community or family as Bolt hints. He's certainly not representative of journalism.
Here what's different for a change is Andrew Bolt's not yelling "who let them in" too embarrassing at the moment I guess because it makes him out to be what he says he isn't a racist, a tribalist and a bigot.
However, it's not strange Sky News was the only media group blocked from NZ during the Christchurch mass shooting. NZ didn't group all media as a class represented by Sky News ethics, but they may as well have been prewarned had they taken Andrew Bolt as representative of the media group. Jacinda Adern could well have said much earlier no "you're not one of us". When she just took Sky off the air. It's about time advertisers, and Australians one and all said that of Murdoch Media and Andrew Bolt "your not one of us. Who let you in?" not because they are typical of all media corporations but because they are just unethical in what they do and what they do is part and parcel of an unethical global business model whose practice diminishes who we are and our Democracy. Maybe the US Justice system will be more lenient to Adau we know Andrew Bolt wouldn't be if he were the judge yet he's implicitly a kerbside one here.
By the way, Bolt suggested the stabbing of a priest in Montreal was terrorist-related last week yet police said it wasn't will Bolt admit he was wrong he never does.
PM wanted Stan Grant as his man to fill empty seat
Peter FitzSimons
Nine days ago, the TV journo and now university professor received a very curious phone call from the PM.
As I have said more than once is all that Andrew Bolt does is follow articles in Fairfax and the ABC and nothing original? No, he possibly gets ideas printed in Murdoch's global media as well. Bolt rarely if ever originates any news or information himself. Extrapolate that fact to his columns and what he calls books, and you will discover. Bolt does just a little or nothing original. He's a signpost to various topics posted by others.
He dared criticise Fitzsimmons for his English while his own is riddled with mistakes as shown in his banner. He thinks of himself as Superman but after 30 years remains less than Jimmy Olsen.
As for Stan Grant Bolt actually has whined that Stan Grant has been made a professor and that no university would make him one
" He is currently the ABC's Indigenous and International Affairs Analyst and Professor of Global Affairs at Griffith University in Queensland, Australia. Wikipedia"
Bolt the opinionator with no qualifications versus Grant who has a degree is an author of 2 books not just a collection of articles like Bolt and a respected journalist on global affairs was unfairly picked to be a professor in his specialty at Griffith's university. While Bolt the white victim would never get his foot in the door for that simple reason. What a pathetic creature and role model to his son that man is.
