Why does Andrew Bolt spend most of his time using his voice to speak about and not for people?
When largely those he speaks for have no need of a voice or privilege unearned only inherited. While those he claims to speak about do need to be heard and not kept silent. If there are two opposing views why not hear that which is based on fact and truth rather than the one based purely to influence. Our mainstream media today is modeled on influence for profit and totally opposed to providing news based on fact. "He said She said" distribution of opinion runs counter to measuring each against the yardstick of the facts.

Germaine Greer challenges #MeToo campaign
There is a strong element of truth to what Geree is saying when you consider what these men are doing to this woman in Israel. Woody Alan after 20 years has become a distraction that allows us to ignore what's happening now and not publicizing it. Greer isn't interested in any sideshows history might draw up.
Why won't Israel treat imprisoned woman with severe burns? | The Electronic Intifada
Samidoun states that Jaabis’ story “combines the terror of colonial imprisonment with the ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem and [Israel’s] constant violence against Palestinian families, particularly women and children.”

The worst thing about Year One of Trump: Fascistization of Cable News | Informed Comment
Cole Latimer's story detailing Economic Facts over the past decade since the GFC that the wealth of Australian Billionaires has increased by almost 140% while the average wages of ordinary Australians have increased by just 36% and that billionaire numbers have increased by 33% while their wealth has almost trebled up 300% has gone MIA off the digital media offered by Fairfax. In fact, a search for Latimer's article on the SMH has a 404 error attached to it.Facts that average household wealth has increased 12% and the richest 1% own more than the accumulated wealth of the bottom 70% is nowhere to be seen yet Scott Morrison insistence on ignoring this reality and arguing tax cuts for business are necessary for Australia in order to be doing better than they are now have been widely repeated and published.
Why is MSM headlining Scott Morrison and not headlining the truth of the matter, the facts that count and putting them up first rather the words of politicians like Morrison that clouds the truth but reflects little more than fake political fantasies the likes of Donald Trump?

Inequality gap grows as Australia marks a huge leap in billionaires
" If every story has two points of view and they are equal, then you have to present both. But where one side in this debate is factually incorrect, it means you are doing the opposite of journalism. You are diluting the truth with false, paid-for propaganda."
This news model also allowed climate denialists and before them cigarette cancer denialists to manipulate the system. If every story has two points of view and they are equal, then you have to present both. But where one side in this debate is factually incorrect, it means you are doing the opposite of journalism. You are diluting the truth with false, paid-for propaganda.Cable news is now pumping out Trump talking points hourly to millions of people around the globe, because of their broken business model. It is degrading our society and our human values. The editors and the CEOs need to look at themselves in the mirror and decide if they really want brown shirts beating up their children in the streets because that is where this thing is going.
