Mitchell about to leave Australian
How genuine does Bolt sound as tasteful as unleavened bread. News Corp's National masthead has been running at a loss for 8 years. So profit is not it's business model influence can't be either as Malcolm Turnbull is our PM. In a country of 24 mill 73k digital subscriptions and 100,000 papers over a quarter sounds pathetic why would you advertise with them? The Herald -Sun is even less and the papers circulation is down 9%.
SMH and The Age are double them. It shows why Murdoch so desperately needs to break up the ABC.
Here are the figures

On Waleed Aly’s explanation of the Paris massacre - and picking on Pauline Hanson
How is it andrew Bolt didn't get a gig on The Project where he could have debated Aly on the issue. We rarely see Bolt on that program where as Steve Price is a regular. If ratings are anything to go by Aly is a far more credible spokesperson than Andrew Bolt. What on earth makes Andrew Bolt Channel 10's in house expert on Islam? What makes him Channel 10's expert on anything in fact? He certainly doesn't seem to be held in high regard given his show gets kicked from pillar to post whenever Ch 10 wants.
Did anyone notice that Tony Abbott actually slapped Bolt down on just about every subject Bolt tried to get him excited about. Abbott treated Bolt as an over excited puppy and was exceptionally polite. However he certainly showed they weren't on the same page on any subject. Bolt, well he seemed rather agitated and peeved at his reception. All Bolt was trying to do was get him to agree with his extreme right wing perspective on his nonsense and it seemed Abbott did as well. Bolt tried to cover himself today. He did the biggest cut and paste job on Abbott going back weeks trying to show the opposite of what Abbott actually said to him on Sunday and make out that Abbott agreed with him. Who needs enemies when you have a friend like Bolt?
So given that duplicitous cut and paste on Abbott why should we believe Bolt's list of points on Aly? Had it been exactly as Bolt makes out he could have posted the video . But no he summarized Aly. So back to credibility, believability and credentials Aly stands head and shoulders above Bolt when it comes to Islam and terrorism. Why does Bolt go out of his way to promote ISIS? He always treats what they say as gospel and if anybody suggests different Bolt goes on the attack. He amplifies all ISIS propaganda as if he were being paid. Bolt has criticized police, politicians, the military he simply goes on the attack if anybody doubts them.
The greatest threat to Australia domestically isn't ISIS it's their representative here, Andrew Bolt who spends so much time and effort doing what they do. He's trying to destroy the Gray Zone that area where moderate Australia lives in integrated harmony without reference to colour, faith, gender, sexuality, ethnicity or any other difference that Bolt tries so hard to highlight to tell people they don't belong.
Why Bolt didn't play Aly's Video
Paris terror: Waleed's plea
Sack the Mufti now. No, the Paris massacre wasn’t the fault of the West
" The statement is a disgrace. Worse, it is dangerous and ominous."
Of course Paris was the fault of France. France had been supporting the rebels against Assad for 5 years. They were trying to help the majority of Syrians to liberate themselves from Assad's Tyrannical regime which France created when they decolonized. Then all of a sudden they have done an about turn and started bombing the rebels and have started supporting Assad. The resentment and retaliation stems directly from that turn around. The refugees into Europe were just that refugees. France has enough French youth to be radicalized. Foreigners could never have done the job only Frenchmen. The Paris massacre was carried out by Westerners Europeans and not people born in the Middle East. You reap what you sow.
It's General Bolt's attitude that has and continues to create and recreate Jihadism in all it 's forms for over 30 years. We( USA) created and supported Jihadism in Afghanistan to get rid of the Russians didn't any one see Charlie's War? Then fought against them without success. We took them on in Iraq and failed they only became stronger because we invaded the country. Everywhere we have taken the Jihadis on in a military capacity has been a failure yet General Bolt with all his lack of military experience calls for more of the same. History has shown us that the man is on a fools mission. A general in his own mind Bolt wants to send young Australians off to fight battles that have never been and can't be won. In each case in Afghanistan and in Syria the West has supported, armed, then turned against the Jihadis and have been comprehensively beaten. According to Bolt it's not the case yet he can't come up with a single situation of a victory. Yet he cries out for more of the same it's Freud's definition of insanity.
Paris is an apartheid city where two worlds don't meet it's a city that over the years has bread a second and third generation of French citizen, youth that feel French but are told in no uncertain terms their not. Unlike Australia there are two distinct cultures in Paris and every social indicator in Paris shows Muslims to be at the bottom of the heap. That alone encourages alienation, not integration and makes French Arab youth ripe for radicalization. Andrew Bolt promotes that view of Muslims here however our multicultural past has insured that hate mongers like Bolt are wrong. We have a very different history from that of France and even the UK. So all Bolt does is exaggerate and amplify his false reality in the media in complete Gobellian style and I believe in defiance of Section 18C
Australian Muslims mainly Turks have always felt at home here as have the Lebanese who Bolt tends to run down the most simply because they have a visible presance in Lakemba Sydney. Bolt in every way assures Muslim Australians and new immigrants they aren't welcome and he does it as loudly and as robustly as he can. He tells them he knows the Koran better than they do. He knows their religious practices better than they do and pays no attention when their National Council has anything to say.
The Grand Mufti was addressing Andrew Bolt directly and his words extremely perceptive when contrasting him with others.
"Credit must go to those who have called for calm and responsibility. We call on all people of goodwill to stand against fear-mongering and injustice" Bolt's response "The statement is a disgrace. Worse, it is dangerous and ominous."
Bolt's language is of war, disparagement and condemnation. His tone is of hatred and mirrors that of ISIS. Even Tony Abbott denied Bolt's intolerance when he said we are sorely in need of the RAD and Section 18C to stave off "hate-mongering" by Australian extremists.
So General Bolt were do you suggest our troops be sent to begin your fight. The one you've been wanting to see. The fight that will yet again go down in history as another Australian failure. Paris attacks: Australia stands against terror, Ed Husic says
" "The fact that a very small minority of fanatics defy the teachings of the Islamic religion by engaging in terrorist crime whether overseas or, as we've seen on three instances now in the last year, in Australia, should not reflect upon the Australian Muslim community," The fact that a small minority of the press defies what Australia represents by engaging in hate-mongering and vilification encouraging the radicalization of young Australian men needs to be addressed men. If Catholic Bishops in TAS can be deemed accountable how is it people like Andrew Bolt are not?
France strikes back at the Islamic State
"Why did it take the massacre in Paris for France to get this serious about the Islamic State?"
The French colony was given to the Assad family who were a minority Shiia group to rule and they ruled with an iron fist. A Sunni revolution began after a six year drought when rather than provide help the Assads killed Sunni demonstrators. For 5 years the French supported the rebels for the over throw of the Assad Government. Recently President Holland began bombing ISIS a reversal of policy which has resulted in the retaliation of the reign of terror in Paris the heart of France. It hasn't been directed at Europe as Bolt keeps saying it has been exclusive to France. This is not strange given France's colonial past terror has been common on the streets of Paris. There is a war of independence going on in Syria and it's not just ISIS that's fueling it. The French involvement and the coalitions assistance being given to Assad has significantly changed the scenario. One might ask whether or not the Sunnis of Syria might unite against a common enemy. Bolt wants us to send troops in to fight who? The only troops on the ground have to be Syrians ask Turnbull and Abbott Mr Bolt
" Were these genuine targets - ones France had been checking out for some time - or marginal ones selected in a hurry just to send to signal?"
Political posturing by France won't win the hearts and minds of Syrians now being driven out of Syria because of the support being given to the minority Assad regime. The majority of Syrians want a change of government. So no matter what targets France hits it wont be the heart of the majority of Syrians. This is not the religious war Bolt claims it is. Here we have a more Bolt like view from the Russians who are backing Assad our new team mates France attacks: The boomerang effect
The West should let the Middle East settle its own differences
France attacks: The boomerang effect
France attacks: The boomerang effect
France attacks: The boomerang effect
