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.

Understanding Government Spending In Australia- The Shovel
There’s been a bit of confusion lately about the difference between a
government surplus and a government deficit, and how that relates to
good economic management in Australia. This simple economics lesson from
The Shovel explains how it works.
Good Economic Management (green section): Literally
the only thing that matters when managing an economy is achieving a
surplus. Nothing else is relevant. The Coalition has delivered a surplus
every single year it has been in office in recent times, except 2013,
2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.
Small Deficit (yellow section): This occurs when government spending is more than government revenue. This only occurs
due to Labor being in Government or Opposition.
Debt and Deficit Disaster (red section): This is
when spending is a lot more than income. It occurs when a Labor
government is in office during a global economic crisis and is trying to avoid a recession. It is horrifically bad.
Good Economic Management (blue section): This is
when government spending is immensely more than government income. It
occurs when a Coalition government is in office during a global economic crises and is trying to avoid a recession. It’s basically the same as a
surplus, except for the bit about spending being more than revenue. It is sound economic management.
Give me a break. I agree with Kissinger that the post-Covid world order will be significantly different from the world that preceded it, but that’s as far as I’ll go. In truth, the US-dominated system is unraveling because the people of the world don’t want to ruled by force, because US leaders are incompetent bunglers who cannot be trusted to do the right thing, and because Washington’s arrogant go-it-alone policy-making has turned vast areas of the Middle East and Central Asia into uninhabitable wastelands. Let’s face it, the United States had a chance to show the world it could be a reliable steward of global security, and they blew it. Nothing Kissinger says is going to change that.
Mr
Moselmane savages Australia’s “mainstream media” for having “publicly
played racist cards, offending and insulting many Australian citizens,
especially Chinese residents” in actions that “further deepened the
already great suffering of the victim”.“Today, the obsolete scum
of 'white Australia' is once again flooding and the theory of yellow
fever has once again surfaced,” he wrote. “Some
mainstream media have bred and spread these racial viruses in our
multicultural community with the purpose of inciting hatred. “Today,
media xenophobia and the full-scale war against China have become the
norm,” his piece says, attacking not only Australian outlets but a piece
in The New York Times.
It appears neither side of politics is game enough to say China has done the right thing in helping to stem this virus. Stephen Conroy "ex" ALP MP prefers his gig on Sky News. Murdoch Media would love to see Australian Chinese relations buckle. They have been Australia's major media Sinophobes for decades. They originally put the wind in Pauline Hanson's sails. The fact is Chinese Australians are being abused because of these Xenophobic racists. Moselmane ought to be congratulated and Sam Dastyari brought back. (ODT)
Mainland China reported 39 new coronavirus cases as of Sunday, up
from 30 a day earlier, and the number of asymptomatic cases also surged,
as Beijing continued to struggle to extinguish the outbreak despite
drastic containment efforts.The National Health Commission said
in a statement on Monday that 78 new asymptomatic cases had been
identified as of the end of the day on Sunday, compared with 47 the day
before.
There is no doubt Sinophobes will treat this as some dastardly Chinese conspiracy as well. Western universal condemnation and politicizing of China seems to be based on their failures of economic management and the inability of privatised systems to rapidly manage crises global or domestic crises as they unfold. China shows them up for what they are incompetent at their best. (ODT)
Even China reveals they still have COVID-19 issues despite total lockdowns. But the Australian Right are calling the war won!!
FAKE NEWS
TONIGHT - SUE CHINA FOR THIS VIRUS, AS MYSTERY GROWS ABOUT ITS ORIGIN
On The Bolt Report on Sky News at 7pm: Coronavirus crawls to a walk. Did we overreact? Now even a deputy chief medical officer admits the peak may have passed (although he's not sure) and we may soon prepare to relax restrictions. Now believe me? Meanwhile, which chief medical officer didn't stay at home but went for a walk in the bush instead?
Andrew Bolt can't push hard enough, can he? Fox News is being sued in America Andrew Bolt doesn't even mention the fact. Sued yes, in a country where the First Amendment vigorously protects the press as long as they aren't Julian Assange. Fox News is being sued for Journalistic irresponsibility in the face of this pandemic and the spreading of misinformation much the same as Andrew Bolt has been doing as their shadow here.
He continues his daily misdirections none of which are original but merely a copy of Fox suggesting we should now sue China but needless to say not him or News Corp. Bolt like Fox has these past weeks been laughing at Australian efforts to stop the virus. Despite the fact they have seemingly been successful. He's calling them an unnecessary overreach for not doing what Sweden and Holland have been in their efforts to ensure their economy stayed essentially unharmed. One might say more of a herd immunity model rather than a total lockdown. What Bolt doesn't however mention is that they are failing. Even China's stringent lockdown once deemed the most successful haven't found a 100% success rate. But Bolt the self-isolating Murdochian Sinophobe knows best.
Bolt keeps telling us it's safe to go back to work with however qualifications that sound much like the failing Sweeden. Qualifications however that can't be met in Australia and actions that are currently against the law and an irresponsible danger to the Australian population. We are geographically different logistically different in size and technological capacity to even begin to do what Bolt suggests. Yet he repeatedly and publicly prints fake news that pursues a course of action that's a danger and no help to our safety.
It's propaganda simply to protect the interests of an economic system that serves the interests of only 1% of Australians represented by the IPA. Interests who believe the LNP's current reckless drift to Socialism is endangering their economy and revealing its weaknesses far, far too much (ODT)
PELL FREED: HIS ORDEAL SHAMES AUSTRALIA
The High Court has unanimously quashed Cardinal George
Pell's conviction for raping two boys. Here is what I've just said on
Sky: the jailing of Pell was a massive miscarriage of justice. Shame on all who participated in this witch hunt. This High Court decision also shames the Victoria Police, the Victorian Court of Appeal and the ABC.
He was not declared innocent nor was there a miscarriage of justice declared. Bolt's not telling but stretching the facts to boost himself really.

Not at all how else is one to be judged, by reputation alone? Due process is something the church certainly doesn't do. Due process is something elitist Bolt has no respect for. Opinion rules his day and over the decades that have been blinkered, aloof and rock-solid never really critical of who he considers his tribe.
Due process was done and serves to give pride to our justice systems attempts to treat us as all naked under the sun. Andrew Bolt certainly doesn't he only pays lip service to equality that doesn't exist. Let's see if the Vatican and the Church treat him as exonerated shall we? (ODT)
The High Court has found there was not enough evidence to convict. It did not find him innocent. You are then entitled to maintain your view and you are under no obligation to apologise for holding those views.
