Andrew Bolt's Blog,31/3/16; Bolt is Australia's shame; Loyalty is a dirty word in Bolt's hands; Bot's jealousy shows; News Corp on a mission; Bolt and Credlin hooting on Sky, a square dance to try and grab ratings and subs for Foxtel; Real Journalism v Propaganda;
What a shameful arse-wipe Bolt is sliming Waleed Aly for 1) not taking on Bolt's history of Australia as an absolute given. 2) Not having the neocon pride Reclaim Australia has and 3) For believing in Islam. What this does is make Australians look like neo-Naziz ready to select citizens as not worthy of citizenship or equality in this country. Bolt represents Australia's shame not pride. Our pride is in acceptance of our differences under one sky and the equality of our human rights as equals.
Bolt talks of his own Dutch heritage with pride but claims he's more indigenous than Noel Pearson who hasn't the same right to be engaged with his because it's divisive and racist. There is no equality in Bolt's stupidity thankfully. There are 15,000 people who are descendants of the Kulin Nation that walked the land Bolt calls home for well before Europeans came and called terra nullis and usurped it as theirs. They too have a history as does Bolt and it's validity is as equal as Bolt's if not more so because people like Bolt want it eradicated.
Sinodinos was Abbott's choice and very close to John Howard who turned up to his maiden speech. All these problems were known for some time yet Abbott certainly wasn't in a rush to get rid of him. Sinodinos was a champion in the Liberal Party both conservatives and moderates loved him. Now Bolt is ready to target not the whole Party but only Turnbull as if he's the doyen of Capitan Calls and runs the party as such. Bolt of course doesn't use the term because it's simply too Abbott.
"Yet another Turnbull plotter - rewarded with a key strategic role in the Turnbull camp - is mired in a controversy. Is this distraction why the strategy has gone off the rails?"Bolt
The man is still thought of as a knight in the Liberal Party not so by Abbott it seems. Loyalty is a relative term used by Bolt and it seems changes from day to day. However with Sinodinos, and the majority of MPs loyalty to the party stands ahead of loyalty to a single person. Sinodinos and Turnbull represent that Abbott doesn't and Bolt well he does what Murdoch want's
Like a 10 cent con man Bolt's suggesting he ignores scoops on a day to day basis but prefers the crap he does write about. He's too valuable to do any real journalism and get scoops. Supporting a side is the essence of Bolt's banality. He hates real journalists but he's awfully envious."I just don’t have the time to go through a thousand false leads in the hope of finding one gold."
Bolt just seems to drink too much. Lucky he still has his job. What would the cost of a proof reader be?
In terms of politics Turnbull made a smart move suggesting states control education and health. It cuts double administration cutting Commonwealth spending and size something Andrew Bolt's been crowing about as a conservative principle. Turnbull has told the truth if this happens he has no crystal ball or control over what the states "might" do. However true to form Bolt says he should have lied. Bolt's 8 points to prove he's right are as I've said fatuous and factless typical of a Bolt argument lot's of words lots of points simply to create a smoke screen and the pretense of information where there is none. Turnbull made a smart political suggestion and Morrison backed it. Oh but an opportunity nevertheless to go wide of the mark and and blame Turnbull for not going off topic at press conference and talk about something entirely different. It's what Bolt does and tries to call it reasoned.
The true motive for hammering Turnbull is to turn the marginal Liberals back to Abbott and bring on another spill. Abbott and News Corp are on a mission from hell and don't mind if the destroy the Party.
"Those 54 Liberal MPs who voted for him must now wonder what the hell
they did. How did they convince themselves he had communication skills?"
Hammering Turnbull on his fitness his dress his etc has become Murdoch media's answer to reporting no news and no information to not help the public make intelligent decisions. It's the trashing of democracy by the rich and spoilt who believe they were born to rule and Murdoch and Abbot's pact to get rid of the ABC if they can get him back. It's Trumping in Australia without the personality.
"Notice how Turnbull, stung by the accusation that he’s simply
campaigning on Abbott’s (good) policies, is proposing policies of his
own that stink?" Bolt
"Whatever financial discipline there was is vanishing."Bolt
It's amazing how Bolt blamed Hockey for the 2014 budget disaster when Bolt kept saying he had to go. Hockey damaged Tony not they damaged themselves. But Bolt has reinstated him again as Australia's best Treasurer so fiscally astute. Abbott was happy to throw Hockey under a bus. Flip flop flip flop goes Bolt and his troll Peter. Even suggesting Turnbull is making captain calls. The amusing thing is they can't afford to actually say that because it will remind us of Abbott.
" Most excellent news for Peta, Sky and me:" As
I said Bolt actually believes he is the center of the universe. Facts
will be absolutely incidental to it. However Credlin will make this man
look a boy. "“to help ordinary Australians better understand” the choices they face at the polls." This is further from the truth than one can imagine and ratings wise Australia will still be watching the ABC on the day.
"will be a hoot for Peta and me both." A hoot = being weird and hilarious I guess Bolt's right or it's short for hootenanny =refers to a folk music party with an open mic, at
which different performers are welcome to get up and play in front of an
audience. " A Square dance he's right again.
Bolt
for his own benefit has thrown "professionalism" the baby out with the
bath water. All there is commentary and debate right or left wing. This
not only applies to Journalism but all the Humanities and Social
Sciences. Why because it then places him and News Corp at the center of
the universe where debate becomes the news.
He
doesn't mind admitting he's a Conservative commentator and doesn't mind
not collecting facts and information he's in the business of selling a
side and attacking the opposition any facts that counter his arguments
don't matter they are simply the misinformation of the left. Haven't you
noticed Bolt even turns science into a religion. There is no
scientific method other than debate. If 1+1 =2 were in any way critical
of Conservative thought then even math would be regarded as a biased
faith based system.
There
is no place for progress or any attempt to change if it threatens the
inherent interests of the rich and powerful. Anything that does is
simply written off as "left", dangerous, un-progressive, etc etc.
Bolt's language is never reasoned analysis. If faced with reason he
dissolves into abuse , fear mongering and threat of Armageddon . Any
change that is a shift in the social power base is fraught with danger
any attempt to achieve a fairer social arrangement needs to be stopped..
It's every reason why Bolt is irrelevant and the ABC necessary. It's
the difference between real Journalism and propaganda and the value of
each to us as a whole.
