 Christchurch and the media
A more diverse mainstream media wouldn’t platform so much hate what can be done about the everyday torrent of racism that shoots from mainstream media – print, broadcast and digital. Some of our best-paid, most high-profile media personalities are up to their necks in it, with the fulsome support of their producers and editors, and have been for years. The solution is not just to ask or require that same talent, or their bosses, to change their tune. The solution is to usher new talent into mainstream media, from a more diverse background, as fast as humanly possible.

ISIS calls for retaliation over Christchurch massacre

Islamic State group spokesman has emerged from nearly six months of silence to mock America's assertion of having defeated the group

Flip the coin and what do you find but racist and Islamophobic Andrew Bolt foxing us in the way ISIS does. However, Bolt's faux cry of unity at the moment just can't be believed given 1) his 30-year history and 2) his Trumpist claim violence has equivalency on both sides 3) which is basically a denial of his involvement in encouraging hatred for the past 20 years. 

Propaganda is propaganda whether right or left and advertisers shouldn't participate in it.
 After Christchurch: Business as usual in racist Australia
" It hurts me to say that but looking at our Government, Prime Minister, senior ministers and mainstream media in general, what else can we ascertain? Within days, days, of the murder of 50 innocent Muslims while praying, at the hands of a far right, white supremacist “Australian” extremist, Australia is back to business as usual.
Interim Prime Minister Scott Morrison is giving speeches about "division", tossing in “both Left and Right”, reminiscent of President Trump's “very fine people on both sides” rubbish."

Andrew Bolt and my other media colleagues seem incapable of self-reflection after Christchurch.

"The both sides argument has rung hollow for years, but at this moment it is disgusting "Alcorn

It runs much deeper than that because Andrew Bolt is batting for a side and not any principles. It's why he is equivalent to the ISIS spruikers on Social Media and not the opposite. In no sense is Andrew Bolt merely confused or incapable. He is the public face and head cheerleader for an organisation that exploits Racism, Islamophobia for the holy dollar. He works for News Corp and Sky. He works for Murdoch and is on his string. He is paid not to self-reflect but hide in plain sight. He's very ugly Australian, but then he dreams of retirement elsewhere.(ODT)
 
You will never guess which one of these people is Andrew Bolt who thinks he's Superman.

NO, THIS CUT ISN'T REAL

The problem isn't that Scott Morrison is talking about cutting immigration just days after the Christchurch massacre by an alleged anti-immigration nutter. It's that that his talk isn't matched by action. My editorial from The Bolt Report.

3mRunning for cover, changing the topic, yes they are, and Bolt like Morrison et al. seem desperate to present themselves in a completely different light, but they are all just snakes running for cover. Violence is all around us on both sides doesn't gell; there are no good racists or Islamophobes. This right and left equivalency, trying to have us assume ISIS is a left-wing mindset, is total deflection and distortion of reality they too are racist and anti-Islam. White Supremacists are ISIS racists and are both extreme right wing. As right, as one can get and that's who Bolt has always sided with and not really against, and he was and still is an active recruiter of right-wing hate in action. Andrew Bolt was always actively and recklessly trying to recruit and inspire pushback, and he didn't care from where it came. His politics demanded domestic division signs needed to be pointed out to facilitate it. He and the Conservatives joined together to raise anti- Muslim sentiment from 9% before Abbott to 33%, and Scott Morrison was a party to it.
Muslims never suffer from mental illness; they are all ideologues, and potential terrorists were Bolt's line. Any white violence against a Muslim was never terror, it was an illness. Or just ignored and not commented on. Bolt helped turn the word Allah into a manifesto of more than 73 pages. The only reason violence on the scale of Christchurch hasn't happened here is our gun laws. Certainly not because of any pleas by Andrew Bolt.
For two days Bolt's been lying at the rate of Trump claiming to be neutral. Today all he was ever talking about was our rate of population growth and drags IPA's Judith Soane in to somehow prove it. Yesterday he turned to Janet Albrechtsen and her free speech claim. Which we all know is BS. To switch to reasoned debate on population growth now is just an extension of the violence is everywhere on the left and right neutral stance an effort to say I have done nothing.
Why is he doing it now? Why is he backing away from the everyday ultra racist white supremacist Andrew Bolt? Because he doesn't want advertisers to abandon Sky, News Corp or himself. He's not denying what he is that would be too obvious and bring attention to the fact of what he's really been promoting for the past 20 years. He's dropped crying for Milo and the other racists he's given platforms to stand on stage with. That would be too revealing and put him in the spotlight as the naked White Nationalist. He's not even defending Sky for having been shut down by NZ, not railing about hate speech is free-speech. Bolt's taken the neutral ground. For expediency and it just doesn't wash. Maybe it's fear that he will be examined more closely under our RDA laws that bother him.

 

 CNN's Brian Stelter breaks down why advertisers are fleeing Tucker Carlson's show

 the number of ads on his show has really markedly declined. We are seeing a significant advertiser pressure campaign against Carlson's show by this liberal group Media Matters, and it is having a real effect. You look at the number of minutes of ads on his show, there is a very small ad load compared to most other shows on television. So what we're seeing is that a lot of advertisers, big brand advertisers, don't want to be associated with these kinds of shows that end up stoking a lot o
f controversy that ended up causing a lot of concern. It caused a lot of heartburn among advertisers, so they've pulled out. But Fox is standing by Tucker. And that's something else the president said, "stay with Tucker Carlson. Stay firm with Tucker Carlson." I think the president is trying to make sure his biggest supporters on TV stay on TV. It's like a shelter from the storm. He wants to make sure that shelter is reinforced. 
 The question, would Sky standby Andrew Bolt in the same way? (ODT) 

ON TONIGHT: TURKEY THREATENS AUSTRALIANS, SLEEPING GIANTS EXPOSED

 Bolt's fears exposed
Andrew Bolt is worried because why? Because there are so few or they, are so effective? Is he calling his advertisers that left dumb? Hardly the salesman he makes himself out to be. Good on Pool Werks  I now use them and will consider using NIB. We must check out the full list, the numbers that left and have Bolt so worried.
BDS protesting is having a concerning effect on Israel globally.  The state is spending hundreds of millions or billions trying to stop BDS anyway it can. Isn't that totally against the free market competition Bolt so admires? When governments step in to prevent competition and opinion in other sovereign states isn't that Communist?
Go Sleeping Giants or Giant who cares it's competent enough to have Bolt disparage his advertisers who have left, and that seems more than one Bolt's story is old why is he making out its a "discovery"? If one individual can close him down, that's one very responsible individual a David against Goliath. Bolt doesn't like the heat can he be made to leave the kitchen? (ODT)
Free Speech  Bolt supports it doesn't he?
