ANDREW BOLT|Old Dog Thoughts |
News Corporation employs Andrew Bolt and provides him with a platform ensuring the inequality of speech. Bolt's Blog not only advocates conservative, right wing and Tea Party views it moderates out most opposing opinions which he is entitled to do. However Andrew Bolt simply lies when he says he provides an arena for fair and balanced discussion in a no spin zone. He doesn't it's all spin.

Andrew Bolt's Blog,19/5/19 Conservative Camp Followers trying to steal pleasure from a jump to the CENTER; A jump not far enough;
The once giant that represented Andrew Bolt's dream of what the Liberal Party should be is no longer Tony Abbott is gone. However, we won't have seen the last of him, and he will crawl back in some form or another wait and see. Murdoch still has uses ahead for him. He left with the message that's it's just "one bad day in 25 years" and will try to crawl back in another three years. However, Warringah showed what this election was about, and it wasn't Tony Abbott or the likes of him. We showed the same in Kooyong with a 7% swing against the Treasurer leaving him rattled. The wealthy have a conscience, while the media and PR merchants can still, however, con the desperate. They eagerly took $80 mill of Clive's money. How often and how much was spent by Clive Palmer advertising with News Corp and Sky for the LNP simply to trash the ALP. Don't for a moment believe News Corp is really celebrating a Scott Morrison win. Will Palmer pay his account? We lost yes, but Australia voted against Abbott's extreme right and Andrew Bolt. The election win has revealed what a fake he really is putting on the mantle of a winner when his team within the LNP were definitely losers. Australia took an almighty leap Left not Right yesterday back to centre politics and away from that tail that kept trying to wag the dog the LNP, away from the ideas and demands of the extreme conservatives. Kooyong may not have won, but they scared the shit out of Frydenberg. While the media and PR firms, companies had to build ScoMo a straw man to hide the rest of the Liberal Party from plain sight. It goes to show the power of the 24/7 media cycle where 6 years of chaos are forgotten so quickly, and an election can be won on empty promises alone. The reality ahead for the next 3 years, unfortunately, will bring no reforms and the wealth and income gaps that have grown these past six years will simply increase. Our children will be the first generation left in Australia in a world left in a weaker state because of their parent's distribution of wealth simply left to inheritance with and less opportunity other than nepotism.
More good news from this election result! The ABC can't collect the bribe Labor offered: "Federal Labor would end a funding freeze on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation if elected, effectively restoring $83.7 million to the public broadcaster over three years."
A gloating Bolt is all one needs on a great sunny Autumn day. Who needs a camp follower, a fairweather friend who tries to put on the mantle of the winner undeserved. He never thought Morrison was up to scratch. The reality is Bolt, and now he's sucking on the teat of celebration as if he won. We saw Center politics in Australia win, and Bolt's conservative right lose. The ABC has been sliced and diced from day one of Abbott's reign. We saw it cheated and lied about solely on behalf of the IPA and News Corp and yet it's not dead. It's changed, yes, but it's still alive. What Bolt calls grim is the face of impartiality and the realisation its future won't be easy. What you see on Bolt's face is a fake smile because as of today he will continue to undermine and snipe at the ABC who he needs more than they need him. Those he calls winners and fellow travellers at Sky will live to see another day. He's little more than just a camp follower today and has been since Abbott got the boot white-anting the Liberals whenever he could. His blog site is noticeably not Bolt but really just a total PAYWALL for News Corp.
1h Remember when Andrew Bolt turned on Adam Goodes like a rabid dog? He's doing much the same with the Turnbull family that actually put the Liberal Party back on the track to the political success that allowed them to create their fantasy leader ScoMo. Bolt may not be trying to rip out the throats of the Turnbulls based on colour or religion, but he's undoubtedly frenzied over each and every move they make. It reminds me, however, of the time he went for Adam Goodes and only managed to have himself written into Australian pantheon of racists. History will document the degree of extreme racism and vilification that he reflects exist in this country. Australia's racism has been documented in a recent film "The Final Quarter" let's hope Andrew Bolt is given pride of place in the doco. If he's lucky, it will show him for what he is. One of Australia's leading media racists, a convicted vilifier and hate-monger currently allowed to practice his bigot driven invective filled PR and propaganda under the guise of opinion rather than advertising a false product for commercial gain. When will reason redefine Bolt's opinions for what they really are the attention grabbing ads for attracting subs to News Corp mastheads concocting PR for the purpose of the commercial sale of fake news, hate and propaganda? Redefined as advertising and false product shouldn't Bolt's views be prosecuted in the same manner as Peter Foster's?
After an emotional response to previews, The Final Quarter is about to reignite debate about racism in sport when screenings start in June
If Andrew Bolt isn't documented here he should because he's a clear example of Australia's racist howl. His attack on Alex Turnbull private citizen is certainly the cry of a Fascist media voice to silence a persons rights in our Democracy. As for Adam Goodes had he not been black would have been left alone.
This the real sign of the Quizzling and Gollum the sign that says to Morrison stop blocking the way for the rise of another ultra-Conservative in the ranks. Changing leaders is good, not bad and should be "encouraged" Remember how he screamed when Abbott was dumped and gloated when the same was done to Turnbull. Now he wants that opportunity to continue for who, Hastie? Morrison should get rid of that rule that would otherwise block another ultra-right-wingers path.
"In fact, one of the things, I think, he will have to do is take some of the elements of the Labor campaign and look at them and say, 'Well, where were the issues that motivated some people to vote Labor, and what can I do to and ameliorate — assuage those concerns?'." Currently, the Government's climate and energy policy is a strange amalgam of Mr Abbott's policy approach and Mr Turnbull's. Annabel Crabb ABC
THEY CALLED IT A GLOBAL WARMING ELECTION. IT WAS. THEY LOST
Greens leader Richard Di Natale: “This is a climate change election." Labour leader Bill Shorten: "This election is all about climate change." Guardian Australia editor Katherine Murphy: "2019 is the climate change election." It was indeed, and they lost. This election has changed the climate. But it's the intellectual climate. Brilliant.
18/05/2019 It was a Climate Change election, and we saw Bolt's boy Abbott embrace it while Bolt made no effort to report his massive jump left because that would have been too embarrassing. The government is committed to the Paris Accord but will now prove its plan has got an iceberg's chance in hell of achieving that without some strong progressive changes. What they have are no unified plans but just bits and pieces and an insufficient bandaid fund, and as a result, we will see increased CO2, higher future costs and current cost of living expenses go up. Coupled with the increased casualisation of jobs will Australians will become poorer and more in debt to a system that wants them that way. There will be an increase in jobs, and they will be part-time, and every Australian will be entitled to share 2-3 shifts with the security and benefits that their kids get working at McDonald's. Australia voted but not enough.
