Andrew Bolt's Blog; 8/3/16 Bolt has no bullets in his gun so he throws it away and turns to personal disparagement: Andrew Bolt puts himself on the cross and hammers in his own faux nails; Bolt should write a book he did once" the best of me"; Polls;
Did the NSW Liberals debate the issue of global warming first before demanding a vote on that debate? Don't think so. Where are they going to find the scientists to debate the poverty of the science and it's methods? Not in Australia 300 believers have just been sacked very innovative start to 2016. Wave goodbye to the CSIRO as they begin outsourcing.
Will they trying to recall that Danish tutor Bjorn something or other that Bolt loves and the Koch Bros dumped last year. The one you never hear of anywhere since being dumped here too. The one Abbott wanted to pay $4 mill to. The Koch's stopped paying him the $1mill because they felt they weren't getting a big enough bang for their buck.
Bolt's hidden agenda ravage the ABC even though ex and current News Corp execs sit on it. Abbott's business adviser Maurice Newman once chaired that biased organization. He even appointed Scott the current CEO twice. Bolt bows to Newman and hasn't ever bad mouthed him. Janet Albrechetson Bolts heroine center fold at the Daily Telegraph is on it. Her favorite radio program is RN yet the ABC is still overly biased according to AB. He also spends an inordinate time watching and listening running his bias off their backs.
How dare the ABC make the public aware that the IPA as breeding ground for Liberal Politicians like the up and coming Tim Wilson for one and singling out James Patterson can often be heard on, yes the ABC. Their bias is simply over the top with their listeners too. Australia's Most imminent right wing think tank IPA all listen too
Bolt it seems is busting for an invite back given he's such a regular listener dictating how Jon Faine's show should script his show. I guess he's got time on his hands since the Bolt Report was dropped. However imagine Bolt running a show on the ABC and the ratings he'd achieve, as he did on Ch10.
It becomes obvious why Bolt had a personal interest in this particular interview at the mention of John Roskam. Faine called him out as a "free speech zealot". A zealot is a fanatical true believer it seems Bolt doesn't like that brand "zealot" one which many conservatives wear with pride. He prefers a more subtle description of what pro -hate speechers and their supporters are about. Zealot is too obvious for Bolt as it smacks of the irrational.
Is Bolt asking to bring Abbott back I don't think so even the Liberal party know it would be the death of government. So what is Bolt doing trying to split the party. He puts all his energy into backing Ruperts dog. However being a Murdoch mongrel himself I guess disparaging Turnbull means more to Rupert than even Liberals losing the election. I guess there's simply no chance of breaking the ABC up under Turnbull.
This beggars belief it's coming from Andrew Bolt convicted in our courts of lying 3 times I know of. Niki Savva has never had that privelige. As far as CV's go Bolt's been little more than a commentator for more than 10 years his journalistic skills recognized by no one. He admits himself he never had the stamina to grind out stories. He just needed a topic and he'd make them up lies became synonymous with opinion only. Remember his bragging rights even amounted to claiming heonce was a bouncer for a belly dancer which proved to be a lie. He was the kept man of his fiance at the time who happened to be a part-time dancer. He even denied they were engaged. He had to print an apology.
Niki Savva is one of the most senior correspondents in the Canberra Press Gallery. She was twice political correspondent on The Australian, and headed up the Canberra bureaus of both The Herald Sun and The Age.
When family tragedy forced a career change, she became Peter Costello's
press secretary for six years and was then on John Howard's staff for
three. Her work has brought her into intimate contact with the major
political players of the last 35 years. She is now a regular columnist
for The Australian, and often appears on ABC TV's Insiders as well as on political panels on Sky. Just compare the two CVs and the most professional stands out and it's not Andrew Bolt. So Bolt only opinionator tactic and ploy seems what he does most disparagement.
"During the Rudd-Gillard years, Savva recalls: "I was the darling of
the conservatives; they all thought I was wonderful because I was
getting stuck into the Labor Party. "Abbott would text reasonably frequently to say, 'Good column, very shrewd observations'."But as her columns in The Australian became increasingly critical, she says she transformed into the "she-devil" of the Abbott government."How journalist Niki Savva went from conservative darling to Abbott 'she devil'
Bolt once said he was not interested unless he had a dog in the race. He didn't mention which race or which dog. It seems Pell is worth the $$$
Is Bolt going to feed off Pell for ever and a day? Yes! The longer his blogs the less he has had to say. They simply tend to be his smoke machine as well. This one "Why is Media Watch crucifying me!!"
First the smoke
" When Pell initiated the Melbourne Response in 1996 he went further than any bishop had gone to fixing the problem"Craven
What justification is there turning the Church's "fixer " into a saint his job was just that and to be a "fixer" To be one he needed to know and believe the organization was in trouble not just locally but globally and not just in Ballarat. That a new approach was needed to take the tarnish off. Pell was no greenhorn. Does BHP send in greenhorns to fix their problems? They haven't been around anywhere near as long as the Catholic Church. Persons with no knowledge of what went beforehand or what to do aren't called in to do the necessary job. Pell had been part of the church for almost 40 years. He's was no slouch for this job. Like Abbott and Credlin he knew of the rumors and worldwide scandals they didn't just break in Ballarat. He chose to ignore them as it wasn't his job then it was Frank Little's and Frank had become an embarrassment.
Nobody expects Pell to bear the responsibilities of the Church but they do expect him to admit he was like the others using silence and ignorance as an excuse to protect the church over and above children. The seeming helplessness of doing anything was everyones problem then and for centuries before. How to deal with the power of the church. Which was the more important in the circumstance anyway? What makes anybody believe it's different today that it has been for centuries? The Churche's problem the media had changed and it was available to everyone.
Craven like Bolt seem flourish on their creation the melodrama of it all and ignore the fact that being a fixer is a heartless job it's akin to cleaning out the sewer which was backing up and the lights were on. However the fixer needs to know about the sewerage first and then wear the shit is. It's why Pell's ignorance seems implausible it was worldwide. To be a turd polisher you need to know the turd.
Talking of melodrama this whole blog is simply a build up to slime Media Watch and the ABC why? Because they do what Bolt doesn't. They question everything, and that is the art of skeptics and invetigative journalists not to believe everything you hear but to question and investigate. It's the reverse of what Bolt does he jus roots,roots for a side and story that will make the most filthy lucre.
His interview and 6 hours with Pell would never have taken that long if it wasn't a set up and PR excercise. Pell wouldn't have been advised to do it. One however that needed to be rehearsed beforehand. So the 6 hours. The on again off again interview was News Corp's on the edge of your selling of it. It had to be selling opinion not news for George to get it if the first place. They even had Bolt looking like an unmade bed for his harrowing week of wining and art galleries.
It certainly wasn't an information gathering excercise. Would it be at all surprising that Bolt's producers had set it all up. 1 " Accuse George" 2 "Confess a change of mind." 3 " Put the record straight" and now 4" Polished him". All Spin doctor stuff any wonder George agreed to an interview wouldn't you?
Media Watch dared to be skeptics it" punishes those who defend him with the truth.""That says something sick about its values, and about the use Paul Barry is making of the platform taxpayers have given him."Bolt. Did anybody notice how Sky had Bolt look as if he had a harrowing week after only doing one prior street comment. As I said he looked like an unmade bed l and Pell was very chirpy for a 74 year old in bad health. Who had done 20 hours with the Royal Commission and another 6 hours with Andrew. Any wonder it all seemed staged.
The Slime
"In fact, it regularly demonstrates that its primary role is actually to
punish ideological dissent even when that dissent is against a
falsehood popular with the Left, such as apocalyptic man-made warming.." Bolt
Reporting what Andrew Bolt had said and casting doubt on the fact that everything Bolt does for News Corp is the same as is done everyday by News Corp globally that is to lie 80% of the time by manufacturing non news for the purpose of media sales is amoral is the smokescreen. Bolt has placed himself on the cross and hammered in his own faux nails.
Oh gone are the days when Andrew Bolt insisted the PM's office required changing. Gone are the days when Bolt complained that Peta Credlin wasn't serving the PM well and he needed to get others in to run his office. Waiting for Nutt was Bolt's song back then. How the man changes his tune and disrespects his readers as if they have no memory that he too spoke of a "weird "relationship.
Credlin believes the book is trying to justify the coup " That’s clearly evidenced by her refusal to speak with me or Tony
Abbott. This is only one side of the story and in time, the other side
should be told." That's wrong Savva is not trying to justify it but give historic reasons for it. Theirs more historic truth in that than there is in a "you got us all wrong book. Asking Abbott and Credlin "is it true" was never necessary a yes or no from them would not have changed history. For god sake how many times were they told but didn't listen. They were their own gods living above Canberra. Maybe it's time Andrew Bolt wrote a book? Because Peta Credlin's response that another book ought be written is valid but that book won't be found in Andrew Bolt's notes of the time nor the notes of the LNP backbenchers. Nobody was invited behind the Credlin curtain and what went on didn't matter in the course of events.
What evidence does Bolt provide to say the rumours 1 were false which doesn't matter and 2 they had no wind which does. Savva wrote a book telling us just how much wind the rumours actually had. Bolt wrote a book once too the best of Bolt by Bolt. Who pray tell are the most erudite.
As for the ABC and Akerman Nikik Savva wrote a book about the Road to Ruin of a leader in the ACT it was more than just a trashy rumor story. It was a book about the power of rumor Niki Savva's book is of far greater historical reference than Piers Akerman's gutless I didn't say this but my mate Slatter said all hairdressers are poofters. Is this really the best that Bolt's got
Does Andrew Bolt sound like 56 year old or a child? It's really difficult to tell. How is it Andrew Bolt does not sound as the writes?
Did Piers Akerman write a book? Was the ABC upset about Akerman's tonguein cheek poofter bashing of Gillards husband during and election? Was Savva doing the equivalent bashing sexually active people having affairs. I hardly think so. She was addressing an historical fact not it's truth. The truth had no relevance to Abbott's blunder.
"In six months Malcolm
Turnbull has done nothing but fritter away the popularity he could have
used to fight for something important - besides himself:"
Bolt constantly overlooks the fact that besides 2 party preferred the LNP now have a leader popular with the electorate ,that the Libs are running 8 pts ahead of the ALP and the party is far more united than it ever was under Tony Abbott who still keeps needing News Corp to keep him alive. For 2.5 years the cry of Bolt ,Sheridan etal singing the virtues of their mate Tony still ring in our ears today. "But you don't know the man like we do" They're right we have our eyes open.
