Andrew Bolt's Blog, 5/4/16 The ABC self examines News Corp never; Bolt sounds like he's on a reefer not the Great Barrier Reef; Debt is good business; Savage Reith but not Kroger; The Financial review 53/47 popularity 61/18 averaged accross all polls; Dogs chasing parked cars there's a pack;
Bad poll News poll is really an outlier here. Greed Dodgy unions are not our worst corruption problemThe Panama Papers put the Conservatives like Abbott and Bolt on the wrong side of history.
"To try harder" Holmes's self criticism is in no way a tilt to the exaggerated hyperbole Bolt brings to the statement. "Holmes agrees with me" sorry no he doesn't. There's is more than a country mile between asking hard questions about real life , critical analysis and propaganda, public relations and right wing commentary. Real journalists are bound by rules of verification of facts and ethical standards that pap opinionaters like Bolt put aside in order to make a point. This argument about ABC has been going on since Bolt was born and the ABC as an organization has never been proved to be what Bolt says a left wing organization. Truth without the ABC Australian production content wouldn't exist. Bolt can never explain why 84% of Australians believe it to be far far less biased and more informative than anything News Corp delivers which has been rated the least trusted news source in the country.
Basically Holmes and the ABC are prepared to examine themselves as critically as it does other issues something Bolt never does. He has been called to court countless times lost and never self examined but accused our courts of left wing bias. In fact Bolt has accused the majority of our core cultural institutions of marxist and extreme left wing bias. If Bolt is made to apologize it's usually on the proviso it's done in secret, his blog comments moderated, his TV panels not interviews and his guests in the main on side. Basically Bolt produces misinformation, propaganda and extremely poor Public Relations with no apologies.
What Bolt cut from the Holmes quote"But if the ABC is to survive and thrive, it needs to cater to the nation
as a whole. In my view (though not in Andrew Bolt's), ABC news, ABC
television and ABC online do that job reasonably well. But ABC radio
needs to try harder." Holmes
and what he is saying Holmes means "After the ritual gratuitous insult and claims I’ve erred and exaggerated
the ABC’s bias - after all, the audience must have its ogre! - former Media Watch host Jonathan Holmes is forced to conclude that at least when it comes to ABC radio I’m right:" Bolt
Is quite different.
Bolt is amazing if his doctor said he had cancer and a year to live he wouldn't change his behavior. If he felt really good after a year he'd say doctors were quacks doomsayers and they didn't know what they were doing. Yep write off the best system and methodology that we have to understand the physical world we live in. Bolt would tell us he was ripped off medicine was witchcraft because he wasn't dead on time. No doubt he wouldn't have made any changes along the way.
"After all those scares about the dying Great Barrier Reef, the Australian Institute of Marine Science today admits that coral cover has in fact increased overall by 19 per cent over the past three years:".
He has said it before "Science is just another religion" yet it's not the way he lives his life. That makes him hypocrite. His argument is not about the Barrier Reef it's about reefs in general Bolt slips and slides to suit his end. "The Reef has had setbacks, but the message is that coral reefs recover -
which explains why they’ve been there for many, many thousands of
years:"
One minute he's talking about 'The Reef' and covering his arse and he next he's talking reefs in general. So particular reefs have survived therefore the Barrier Reef will. No mention of how many reefs haven't or how important the Barrier Reef is to the economy of Australia and the 67,000 jobs that rely on it. How casual is Bolt?
Bolt's purpose the same as a Tobacco lobbyist who tries to maintain the jury is still out on cigarette smoking to someone who has lung cancer. Sure as hell he doesn't encourage his kids to smoke. It seems he hasn't taken that cause up and started to smoke to prove his point that science is just a thought bubble. The Barrier Reef is ill at the moment and the doctor says so Bolt says bullshit we don't need to do anything. Who wouldn't change the their behavior?
"It seems better reef management has also helped. The doomsayers really should apologise." Bolt
Typical Dutchman doesn't want to share the load when it comes time to pay the bill and always looking for someone else to pay it. Abbott doubled the debt and said it was fixed. That we had a spending and not a revenue problem. So not only is Bolt Abbott a liar but our GNP is growing yet Bolt keep saying the sky is falling in. There is one thing Bolt isn't and that's a Jewish business man. You make money with other peoples dosh to do that means to be in debt. You spend money to make money that means debt . What we have since the easy days of the mining boom when Howard saved nothing we have reduced revenue yes that's right we have a revenue problem because we are in a state of transition. Yes we have a debt problem. The wealthy and corporations are not paying their taxes and Abbott sacked 3,500 staff from the ATO.The Panama Papers have squarely put Abbott and Bolt on the wrong side of history in saying the unions have been ripping us off and the wealthy and corporate beneficiaries are paying their taxes. Yes we have a debt problem but it's not ours we are owed money.
Why is it that Bolt McCrann never talk about Corporate and white collar crime on the creation and formation of debt in this country in terms of what we are owed. But no they spend so much energy on fingering the clerks of the Trade Unions? Dodgy unions are not our worst corruption problem Abbott privatized Medicare a solid revenue creator. What was the first thing that happened. The premiums went up 5% and the CEOs package went from $1.5 m to $6.5m. That's efficiency and directing revenue elsewhere. How could the revenue base be broadened? Well taxing churches just might be a start. The taxpayer's billions spent on government advertising
Bolt is a simpleton " Returning some boat people at last under a deal that will cost Europe terribly - yet more still come than go:" He has no consideration of the difference between Australia and Europe. But that's not his strategy. Constant criticism of Europe he's indirectly saying how right we are.
We lie "No children in detention in Australia" Manus and Nauru have nothing to do with us. We waste and squander money on the continued publicity campaign of a threat that's been diffused. $55 mill gone into the pockets of politicians to promote the failed Cambodia resettlement scheme. $6mill on a film to stop boats that have stopped. The film was made by an Aghani refugee who settled here and went back. Bolt says they are of no value to this country isn't that funny. Yes he is a simpleton.
Bolt never said a word when Kroger told Abbott to "pull his head in" a week ago. He never said a word about how Abetz helped cover up Mantach's theft in TAS and was happy to see him handed on to Vic. However he savaged Reith for criticizing Abbott. It seems he needs to hold Kroger up as some sort of hero why? He needs him for the Bolt Report. Not a shot fired in anger at Michael. Bolt is extremely selective when he targets people and it's not on principles. Conservatives don't stick together their politics is very pragmatic what ever suits them on the day and furthers their personal interests. Peter Rieth was disposable Kroger isn't. They just push each other aside and move on and that's what Bolt does. Kroger is too important. There are no principles involved in this just the side.
Here is News Corp scare mongering the Liberal marginals trying to get them to cross the line and carry Abbott back on their shoulders. Bernardi threatened a split. Andrews threatened a challenge. Bolt's rumour-mongers on Turnbull's health and talks Tony's fitness and charity. What an architected wank. Did anyone watch Q&A last night and the overseas political editor Greg Sheridan how left wing biased was he? he sounded like Bolt.
Terry McCrann, writing hours before Newspoll confirmed Turnbull had indeed fallen behind in the polls: The lie News Corp ran the headlines with their commissioned poll. The financial Review averaged all the polls to avoid what Bolt hates so much bias and found the Libs were still 53/47 and Turnbull v Shorten for PM 61/18. Now why hasn't there been a mention of that in Australia's largest but least trusted media group? As for McCrann he just the chorus at News Corp.
The only reason Pyne's guarantee is worthless is that Abbott and Murdoch are two dogs intending to catch that car that has passed by. It won't be over until we VOTE LABOR they are BERNIE SANDERS down under. The Liberals are Republicans split, and filled with Cori Bernardis, Eric Abetz, Peter Dutton, Kevin Andrews and Tony Abbott the flags not fags and boys who love guns and uniforms. "no children in detention" men
Turnbull gives the ABC more than half his interviews therefore the ABC must be biased. That's Bolt logic for you. Are we to believe not giving Bolt any attention is bias as well? The Bolt Report never had any ratings compared with any ABC programs so why bother. Abbott banned the ABC and only stuck with the conservative media why?Tony Abbott's bizzarre 28 second silence ... - YouTube Is that further proof of ABC bias.
Isn't it amazing that Bolt has carried the same anti- ABC relay baton around that's been an accusation for as long as I can remember since the 60s. Bolt hasn't added anything fresh or even another dimension to it. Yet the ABC for all it's bias still remains the most trusted news outlet in the country and News Corp the least. All of Bolt's News Corp coworkers and propagandists including Bolt listen to it that's how good it is But none of the ABC professionals pay any attention to Bolt is that Left wing bias? Bolt wouldn't have a gig if it weren't for the ABC. He's the mad dog barking at the passing ABC car headbutting it's wheels as it drives by.
"For Barry this is something to sneer at. It’s apparently proof that 2GB
hosts are just overmighty “shock jocks” getting their comeuppance:" Bolt
If you want to National news you go to Radio National not Radio. If you want more than opinion you don't go to 2GB. When and where did Tony Abbott test himself in the media? With whinging of this caliber I can guess Bolt isn't trying to coax Turnbull on his program either. I wonder why? Is this how Bolt invites people to dinner? Abbott stuck with his mates I'm not sure why? But let me give you an example of his media achievements. What about Tony Abbott - Biggest Blunders - Tony Abbott Goes Full Retard - YouTube Is this ABC bias or just Abbott blunder around the world.
Apparently the IPA is a secret leftist organization because Abbott and Turnbull stick to the IPA script when it comes to policy except for privatizing the ABC where they both back off. But here is Bolt quoting the biased Media watch and Paul Barry why? Because he mentioned the same facts as Bolt but not as vigorously as the mad dog Bolt chasing the ABC passing car
