ADAM SANDLER'S WANDERING HAND, LIVE ON TV

 How extraordinary, especially with the Harvey Weinstein scandal raging: "Adam Sandler has been slammed for repeatedly touching actress Claire Foy’s knee during an interview on The Graham Norton Show...  Claire in the end put her hand over his to show him that she had noticed him resting his hand there... He soon placed it back on her knee.

Keeping the attention off Trump is what Andrew Bolt is doing. However, Bolt fails to realize Sandler is doing what comes naturally to Donald Trump, Roger Ailes and Bill 'O'Reilly and Conservatives. So what Bolt is trying to show this is that it's, in fact, normal behavior to him. 

However, Bolt seems confused "she noticed his hand resting there" doesn't fit with Bolt's "He soon placed it back" where? Is Bolt attacking Jews? Weinstein and Sandler have that in common but not their politics.

Political Views

Adam Sandler is a registered Republican, even donating money to Republican candidates and performing at Republican events.

 

UNBIASED? CRIKEY INVESTOR HOSTS ABC'S MEDIA WATCH

Paul Barry regularly abuses his position as host of the ABC's "unbiased" Media Watch to attack the Murdoch media and conservative journalists - me, Alan Jones and others. Now Crikey is outraged that The Australian has attacked Barry, but forgets to add that he's actually a Crikey shareholder. The Left looking after the taxpayer-funded Left. 

7m PAYWALL

Let's not just discuss bias but the construction of lies. The Herald Sun not only constructs them feeds and supports politicians with them which goes a long way beyond Andrew Bolt's complaint of just bias
"To the best of my knowledge, this lie originated in a Herald Sun story by James Campbell and Matt Johnston on 20 April 2016. It was seized upon by Coalition MPs for its propaganda power and soon became a regular feature of news coverage. Seemingly nothing could stop the propagation of this lie. The CFA – which, at the time, was still in dispute with the union – refuted it on 20 May, but the lie lived on.
"Tony Abbott used it in his 21 June Herald-Sun op-ed, too. I don’t have the stomach to check, but I’ll wager the lie also featured in some of the 19 front pages the Herald Sun devoted in that month alone to the Coalition’s CFA campaign. Day after day, the lie was retold to the TV news by angry volunteers who had been fooled by the Coalition’s unchallenged campaign of deception."

 

WHAT DO PYNE AND CO. ACTUALLY STAND FOR?

What does it say of a "Liberal" like Christopher Pyne that he asked the far-Left GetUp! to save Malcolm Turnbull's leadership from a Liberal grass-roots revolt?:  "We had Pyne and his mates within the Liberals reaching out to GetUp! — an “associated entity of the Labor Party” in Pyne’s own words — in a bid to defy those Liberal members."

7m
It says that GetUp isn't a Left Wing Associate of the ALP or the Unions and was simply attacked by Eric Abetz and Murdoch media for simply advocating the policies of their members who unlike the IPA  could come from any party and did at the time 2009, 8years ago. Abetz failed to point to the headlines and lies actually constructed for the use of politicians like Cash and Abbott who had no ideas of their own. 
However, the Murdoch media have a history of being busted for their constructed and continuous lying in assisting the conservatives they favor at any particular time. The Abbott at the Alfalfa Club is just one in which Rupert Murdoch was actually a participant oops! Abbott wasn't invited to a dinner as declared but was taken by Murdoch as his $200 guest along with a cameraman to do a photo shoot for the Daily Telegraph and present him as a statesman in demand.

FRUSTRATED: BARNABY JOYCE SMACKS LIBERALS

Former Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce warns backbiting Liberals that "the only reason you are in government is because the National Party held all their seats and won one". He also regrets agreeing with Malcolm Turnbull's call not to stand aside while the High Court ruled on his citizenship. Result: many decisions may be in legal doubt. 

Not just a PAYWALL but biased and totally out of context quote. Barnaby Joyce did no such thing other than reminding the media that the Coalition remains just that and has delivered Australia an alternative to Labor since Federation which is fact. But then that's the problem with Bolt's opinions facts become bias to his fantasies of opinion.

WHEN MALCOLM AND TURNBULL TOLD BARNABY TO DO THE WRONG THING

Barnaby Joyce says he wanted to go to a by-election as soon as he heard he'd been elected as a New Zealand citizen. Who talked him out of it? Not just Malcolm Turnbull but his wife, Lucy. And more terrible calls followed, making this background story in The Australian in August, written after briefings by the Turnbull camp, even more damning now.

PAYWALL 
Bolt continues his lies Barnaby Joyce acted according to the rules which show he could continue to act in his capacity as an MP . Given there are only 4 sitting days left in this parliament Bolt's days suggestion of a major mistake is totally bogus. Even with Joyce losing the supreme court action he was fine as he could continue to act until a decision was made. Joyce has made that perfectly clear. Bolt on the other hand is just stirring up crap. But why wouldn't he he's wanting to ensure Labor does win the next election but even more so he wants them to win the next two by making Abbott the leader of the Liberal party. Hastie could well be the losing leader in 2018 ensuring the return of Abbott as opposition leader only to lose the 2022 election as well. Who needs friends like Bolt and any ultra -Conservatives?

NEWSPOLL: LIBERALS IN DEATH ZONE AS TURNBULL TUMBLES

No surprise at all. Newspoll has the Turnbull Government stuck on a disastrous 46 per cent to Labor's 54, after preferences - with more turmoil to come. Dissatisfaction with Malcolm Turnbull has jumped three points to 59 per cent. 

1h20

It must frustrate the hell out of Bolt to see Turnbull still remains the preferred PM by a country mile "But Turnbull retains his 41%-33% lead as preferred prime minister over Shorten, who also had a slip in his satisfaction rating among voters.."


The NBC/Wall Street Journal poll says Trump only has 38 percent support, as more bad news awaits the White House VIDEO. 
 The 38 percent approval rating marks the worst in modern history for a president at this point in his presidency. Barack Obama was at 51 percent in October 2009, while George W. Bush was at 88 percent the October after the Sept. 11 attack. Trump's lack of support stems in large part from concerns over his role as commander in chief. On foreign-policy matters, Americans in the survey gave the president poor reviews. Only 35 percent approved of his handling of the role as commander in chief, while 53 percent disapproved.

FIVE YEARS VERY OLD

A pilot gets advice on hydraulics failure on his jet: "You have to do something else to lower the flaps... You have to lower them by gravity alone... If you have no hydraulics and your plane is banking right you reduce engine one and increase engine two." Pilot: "How old are you?" "Five years and 11 months."

7m
It simply shows just how ignorant Bolt and Panahi are and how old kids need to be given the opportunity to learn what they like. A five year old doesn't rely on opinion to get a job done he relies on facts unlike Bolt a pilot at the Herald -Sun who only makes out he's an expert on everything.


 

MESS MADE, PM VANISHES

We've got a government in maximum chaos, facing scandals, two ministers thrown out of Parliament, down in the polls  – and where’s our PM? He’s off to Israel and has left in charge the woman most likely to take his job. My editorial from The Bolt Report. 

6m

Tony Abbott traipsed around the world opening war memorials volunteering his services to NATO and was criticized for his idiotic international image and his general embarrassment as a national leader however not by Andrew Bolt whose job it was to be his PR and media booster. However if one does a count-back one can find the numerous occasions when Bolt promised Abbott would change and stop being the fool he'd said sorry and learned his lesson. The gaffes became so frequent that even Bolt simply shut up with apparent exhaustion. The backbench revolts were so frequent because nothing did change.
When Abbott was named the "pivot" of Asia he went to Europe and opened a war memorial and Bolt defended him but not so Turnbull who isn't facing the panic Bolt's beating up.  On any other day would be complaining that Turnbull had turned his back on the equivalent of Gallipoli in the Middle East the Centenary of Beersheba if he hadn't attended. Suddenly Bolt has no appetite for Australian History tradition and the National spirit he holds so dear and which he claims to be so important. Yet another case of his contradictory "principles"it seems.
