Andrew Bolt hired by Sky News Australia to report on Royal Commission in Rome
Murdoch spent a lot of money to get Bolt to Rome. Did he go to the Opera?
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.
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
