ABBOTT'S SPEECH LEAKED. IT CAN ONLY HELP HIM
Last week I released a leaked speech of Christopher Pyne. Today Fairfax releases a leaked speech of Tony Abbott. The difference? Pyne was damaged, Abbott won't be. Listen and tell me what he says that's wrong.
DON'T THE LIBERALS NEED A CROWD-PULLER?
Journalists are missing the real story about Tony Abbott's talk at a branch meeting in the electorate of frontbencher Michael Sukkar. It isn't why Sukkar asked Abbott to speak when he's so "divisive" but the fact that hundreds of Liberals turned up to hear him. Which actually answers the question.
MEDIA DIES, CHOKED BY TRUMP-HATRED
Michael Goodwin on how the media destroyed itself with its hatred for Donald Trump: "The behavior of much of the media, but especially the New York Times, was a disgrace... [As former boss Abe Rosenthal said:] 'I don’t care if you f–k an elephant on your personal time, but then you can’t cover the circus for the paper.'”
"While this transaction is dependent upon the passage of the media reform bill, it is appropriate that the ACCC begin its review of the proposed transaction that has been put to us by the parties," ACCC chairman Rod Sims said.
Mr. Murdoch cannot control Ten because it would breach the two-out-of-three rule. He currently controls radio and newspaper assets in markets where Ten is broadcast. Owning a commercial television network would give him control of three-out-of-three media. Scrapping this restriction is the most controversial of the government's proposed changes.

43% thought Tony Abbott should resign from Parliament (up 3 since April), 18% thought he should be given a ministry (up 1), and 14% thought he should remain a backbencher (down 3).

TURNBULL'S POLLS WORSE THAN ABBOTT'S
Former Treasury secretary John Stone: "The Coalition under Turnbull has now been consistently behind in Newspoll by four or more percentage points (that is, 48 Coalition, 52 Labor, or worse) for 14 polls in a row. Under Abbott as PM the Coalition was never consecutively behind by this big a margin for more than eight polls."
THE FRIGHTENING RISE OF THE REGRESSIVE LEFT
Janet Albrechtsen on the day student "progressives" at a Washington university revealed they were really medieval witchhunters: "Students mobbed the classroom of this progressive professor, causing mayhem across the entire campus and bringing a place of learning to its knees... Some not so fine young cannibals on the left were devouring their own."
LABOR PLAYS WITH ARAB FIRE
Of the 15 federal seats with the biggest Arab minorities, Labor holds 13. Does that explain why Labor figures like Bob Carr are now vilifying Israel and demanding Palestine be recognised as a country, despite half of it being run by terrorists?
JONATHAN GREEN'S PALE MISSION STATEMENT
Andrew Bolt is such a stalker of people who couldn't give a stuff about him. I think that's the problem, they don't concern themselves with him and focus on other things.
TOMIC SHOULD GET A LIFE. SO SHOULD HIS CRITICS
My editorial from The Bolt Report: Bernard Tomic was too bored to win his opening round at Wimbledon. He's now being attacked as if he's spat on our flag. But what's so shocking here?:
Does Bolt really believe he's less commodified than Tomic that he's not just another pawn in an industry much larger than he is? Tomic smacks balls over a net and Bolt smack ignorance. Bolt's certainly not as skilled as Tomic nor can he draw a crowd in a colosseum week after week like Tomic does. Bolt's ratings are from as commercially impressive. Unlike AFL players he hasn't a partnership agreement with News Corp. Bolt isn't more than a poorly produced talking head who fools himself that he is his own master when he's little more than a marionette.
The puppet reveals himself when he finds himself out of his depth and his masters have to pull the strings to save him. It's when he's having a conversation with someone so much smarter than he is and is showing him up. Then the producers pull the safety switch and Bolt rather than saying this is a challenging conversation let's continue he says times up we will continue this another time and never does. That's boring as bat shit to his audience and his masters and if quality actually continues Bolt would be replaced. Yes, Bolt operates from a very low base because anything else would require research, study, and thought. Tomic has done that equivalent of hard work since he was 16 he earned his stripes, Bolt hasn't. He just makes sure he's connected with the right people. He has no journalistic skills, no literary skills, just a vague political template he overlays repetitively over very few selected issues. He's a sock puppet.
LIFE BAN FOR FAHOUR
The AFL's diversity manager gets a whack back: "Ali Fahour has been suspended for 14 weeks — automatically triggering a life ban — after a marathon tribunal hearing over his coward-punch." With his suspension record of seven games already, that brings him over the limit of 16. The AFL now has a diversity officer who is banned from the sport.
Bolt in a world of equals deserves just as much if not worse for his attempt at GBH in Carlton as Fahour the footballer does. Except both need to be criminally charged because neither act was in self-defense. In fact, Bolt deserves more charges laid because unlike Ali he didn't apologize or show any remorse for attempting to sucker punch a guy and kick him in the balls. Furthermore, Ali didn't call on others to do the same ob media. Bolt posited himself as a role model for right -wing bogan youth justifying brawling as an act of heroism and intelligence when it's entirely the opposite. In comparison Ali, the footballer got his just deserts as a footballer but like Bolt should have faced our courts but not fir being a Muslim as Bolt seems to suggest and get pleasure from.
