Andrew Bolt's Blog,2/3/16; Andrew Bolt report on George Pell from Rome for Sky No News, No Bias; Bolt is not a journalist but a spin doctor for George Pell click to see Sky;




Andrew Bolt hired by Sky News Australia to report on Royal Commission in Rome

Jimmy Olsen of Murdoch's Sky News flew faster than a speeding bullet to Rome to defend the indefensible Cardinal George Pell. Naturally Bolt was was going to have a makeover before he got to Rome as his reporting for Murdoch and Sky was to be completely unbiased.
It was it appears Bolt chose to emphasize the no news aspects of  Pell's evidence.
Rest assured Andrew Bolt will find it difficult to defend Pell given he showed no interest in any of the pedophilia rumors going on around him at the time he was too busy on his career. If Bolt fails to point out Pell's inquest failings he just might be accused of being paid. Never mind Spotlight won the Oscars and tells us how real reporters do their jobs.



Archbishop had ‘blind spot’ to abuse

  Archbishop had ‘blind spot’ to abuse

Andrew Bolt Speaks for George Pell the man and  he even goes as far as to put words in Pell's mouth and says what George Pell meant to say instead of unbiasly reporting on what he did say. Bolt is  George Pell's media advocate, spin doctor ,PR man and not a journalist for Sky News and paid by Rupert Murdoch.  Bolt says the the Royal Commission is "building a case" and not acting in a legal manner and  "hearing a case " on which to make a judgement. The Commission according to Bolt has a "get Pell agenda." This is the direct opposite of how he described the Heydon Dyson Commission into the trade unions.

 The reality however is not George Pell the man but Archbishop Pell and the role of he played as CEO of the Australian Catholic Church. Bolt flip flops and seems not to understand the difference. As if as a good man whose mother loved him and is sufficient reason for not blaming him as CEO of the Catholic Church. All Bolt's character referencing in law is what occurs before sentancing and not during the course of any trial or hearing.

It's the same defense he ran for Tony Abbott's blunders as PM and why he still should be PM. "I Know him better than you and he's a nice man not the man you think he is." He is nevertheless cocking the role of PM and leader of the Liberal Party up.

Bolt slips and slides between the man and the role he played. As CEO of the Catholic Church he was a failure  because he was protecting the Church over and above it's victims and he even pleaded guilty to that. In saying " I'm not here to defend the indefensible" and that the "rumours of Risdale were of no interest to him as Archbishop. He expressed that quite clearly in as much as it was his job description Mr Bolt not to care. 

You can't defend the indefensible on the basis that he was a nice and good man. However Pell clearly said pedophilia was not the fault of the Church but the the fault of sinners within the Church. Well doesn't that apply to Pell and so what sort of Archbishop was the man. Excellent no doubt from the Church's perspective.   If "Doing is Being" George Pell stands accused of being "the Archbishop". He is not the Kafkaesque figure just being judged according to stereotype. Archbishop had ‘blind spot’ to abuse
