News Corporation employs Right-Wing Broadcasters providing them with a platform ensuring the inequality of speech. Their Social Media Platforms not only advocate conservative, and extreme right-wing wing views. They monitor out most opposing opinions which they are entitled to do. However, they also simply lie when they say they provide an arena for fair and balanced discussion in a no-spin zone. They don't it's all spin.

Andrew Bolt's Blog 6/10/17; Apparently Bolt is throwing fuel where there is no fire; History has no place in Bolt's debate; Racism or protest which is worse?
6 Oct "This is not sour grapes. Steve Price and I won best metro AM radio team at the CRA awards night last year (after we were entered without my knowledge or consent, being against such awards)."Bolt what we have here is an oxymoron presented by a moron who simply segues into bragging. I don't want an award but I'm so grrr8 aren't I no Bolt porn has high ratings but it isn't great it's very cheap and nasty. Opers has low ratings an you think it's GRRRR8
How Interesting is this Bolt takes the 762 murders from 2016 figures then flips back to a story that dates back to 2011 to suggest Blacks and Black Culture is responsible for murders in America. He doesn't mention the figures statating 75% were black have nothing to do with 2016. Given 17,250 murders were comitted Chicago represents 4.4% of American murders Yet Bolt wants it to appear to be "Black Mayhem" In his use of statistics for racist purposes. This is called Confirmation Bias a practice quite often used by Andrew Bolt. In other words Bolt is acalculated alarmist attemptin to deflect the attention away from the fact that the most likely killers in America are White Christian males who are 23% of the pop but have 50% of the guns. You can't trust ultra racist Bolt for a second can you. FBI REPORT "Violent crime overall has gone up by 4.1% nationally. A total of 17,250 people were reported killed in the US in 2016, with the number of murders increasing by about 8.6% in comparison to 2015. Small towns experienced a significant increase in homicides, but it was still less than half of that seen in big cities (8.4% vs. 20.3%). The city of Chicago saw 765 murders in 2016, up from 468 in 2015, and 411 in 2014—while the city undoubtedly has a serious gun violence problem, this could have been a particularly bad year. On Sept. 17, Chicago hit 500 homicides this year, a 7% decline from the same period in 2016 (preliminary national data for 2017 from New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice also predict a slight decline in violent crime). Other big cities that saw significant hikes last year included Baltimore and Las Vegas."
The murder rate is up in the US, but is still relatively low and it has been falling since 2000 from 6.8 per 100,000 to 5.5
News Corp is entitled to choose it's advertizers and it does. News Corp editors choose the topics wants to promote and even Andrew Bolt chooses the issues he wants to discuss in his editorials the pulpit he's been given to preach his religion from. Why it's a private enterprise and can.Not so the Wrest Point Casino it appears. Hypocrisy runs rife in the Conservative Church of Bolt. I think the No Vote laid their publicity trap by booking a venue which would most likely say "no" in order to create a publicity issue and Bolt is assisting in the stunt.
Wrest Point isn't the debate it's the venue debates can be held at the offices of News Corp do we hear Bolt generously stepping in to assist?
Hypocrisy continues in the Church of Bolt. Catholicism is an organization. Head Office Rome. Islam and Judaism aren't they are wholly and solely faiths. In the history of global brutality Catholicism stands head and shoulders above all in it's viciousness and in typical Bolt style he labels it the great victim. Evidence based conclusion no just value based. What epistemological basis or evidence does Bolt have none. I suggest he ask the Aztecs, Incas, Arabs and today the Afghanis, Iraqis and Syrians what they think of Christianity as a religion and not just the Catholic Church a corporate body within it.
Bolt is Indigenous according to yes Bolt? On what basis does he make that conclusion none.
How lazy is Bolt to put up this post? He makes no mention of the push to reintroduce segregation in America a significantly different concept to protesting against racism. Who are the victims in the case of segregation laws being passed, White Supremacists or black Americans. What is really the news of the day? the racist push Bolt conveniently overlooks or an issue of protest?
Why is it that Andrew Bolt who supports the values and benefits of segregation and closed borders is so reticent to speak about it publicly? The Nazi's, KKK, Vanguard America and the UPF aren't that shy.
Bolt simply posts a banner to draw people in and like he does with climate statistics any slight drop in tempreture and he's boasting the planet is cooling. Yes the price of coal exports did rise largely on the basis of rising prices of coal to China since 2011 or after 6 years. If coal is booming why are AGL, BHP and Rio Tinto divesting out of coal? Why doesn't Bolt ever print what was really reported?
"The new data from the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science also tipped at a decline in thermal coal although Australia will remain the world's second largest exporter. While thermal coal experienced a sharp increase in prices due to the combination of higher demand and industrial action across Glencore's operations in the Hunter Valley and Queensland, spot prices are likely to fall to $US69 per tonne in 2019, the report said. This is well below the $US84 per tonne average expected for the remainder of 2017. Exports of thermal coal will also drop 2 per cent in in 2018-19 to 198 million tonnes The output will be further blunted by the fall in coal prices, with expectations of total export values falling 13 per cent year-on-year, from $19.2 billion to $16.9 billion."
How desperate is Bolt who usually campaigning against Conservative White Christian victimhood. Has he jumped to the other side? Debating takes two people with opposing views Symons seems to be saying the left are racists and therefore not arguing for marriage equality. I don't think so
What a load of nonsense Bolt is spouting. He expects the 3% of sceptics be given 50% of the time and that the 97% be given 50% of the time. Does he expect that balance be given to flatearthers as well. Does Bolt move his lips when he counts from one to ten? He doesn't do that on the Bolt Report where 97% of climate scientists get no time and the 3% get 100% of the time. Now that's Bolt's idea of Fair and Blanced. But then he a part of News Corp a private org. Strange isn't it today he's complaining about Wrest Point Casino doing what the Bolt Report does every day.
This a repeat that's already been replied to. However revolutionary psychiatrist Franz Fanon who wrote The Wretched of the Earth was very clear that to practice real psychiatry in Algeria the first step was to rid the country of French Colonialism. Because the conservatives that supported it were as Steve Biddulph says "messed up men". Well the ultra conservatives here in Australia who pay homage to Australia's historic past and it's connection with the Inglorious British Empire are much the same. Praising the wholesale impoverishment of ordinary Australians with a false myths justifying psychotic behaviour for the profit of shareholders in Britain
"if allegations are true" is that Bolt defaming who ever he wants as long as he puts "if allegations are true in front of it" how gutless is that? The allegations about Donald Trump are true and Bolt doesn't discuss those. There is a difference between Trump and Weinstein Trump hasn't any concern for "social justice" so does that then justify his actions? It seems it does according to Bolt. Bill O'Rielly was badly treated according Fox's Sean Hannity and he has no concern for Social Justice either. Rupert Murdoch did an Alan Bond in Britain when he was accused disgusting behaviour and he sacrificed his staff to save his arse. So Bolt is always playing with allegations never really interested in truth and he freely admits it. His is just a gossip column commentary made on no facts jsu rumour. So fi pigs can fly Weinstein still can't be sacked.
A woman agreeing with a woman it sexist to Bolt but Bolt who regularly targets women isn't. Tell that to Yassmin, Susan Carland, Julia Baird, Van Badham Caroline Ford, Miranda Devine. So agreeing with Tim Blair Tony Abbott Rowan Dean etc etc must be sexist because he certainly says "wow just look at how great they are" They all pat each other on the back and Abbott certainly wants to be PM again and they want him to be too. Bolt hasn't a clue to what sexist even means.
