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.

Fighting Fake News with REAL,14/5/20; News Corp and China-Baiting; Fake News Scapegoating China;
Hundreds of people from across Australia
have told the ABC that they have witnessed or been involved in racially
charged incidents in supermarkets, on the streets and in their cars
throughout the lockdown period.
Australian media has a lot to answer for its incitement of racial hatred this past decade has been quite exceptional. It goes back to the Cronulla riots in 2006 when Alan Jones showed what he could achieve as a public voice. Since then people like Andrew Bolt have been mimicking Jones without any push-back from the government. Political and cultural division has been the hallmark of conservative politics in this country since invasion day. Australia's current anti-China stance has come to the boil and Morrison just might have bitten off more than he can chew and it's about time.
By political reporter Stephen Dziedzic The
Morrison Government seems to be betting that all it needs to do is hold
its nerve and hold the line when it comes to China's trade threats.
Farmers and exporters across the nation will be nervously hoping the
Coalition has made the right call, writes Stephen Dziedzic.
FAKE NEWS
CHINA DEFENDED BY VICTORIA: IT'S OUR FAULT THAT IT'S BELTING US. GIVE IT MORE POWER
Stockholm syndrome from a China crawler: "Victoria’s
Treasurer has blamed 'inelegant interventions' and a 'use of language'
to 'vilify China' for the country’s decision to suspend beef imports
from four Australian abattoirs and threaten tariffs on Australian
barley." So Pallas admits China is bullying Australia but blames us for it. It gets worse.

In typical fashion, Andrew Bolt heads for the hills and ducks for cover he's not taking any blame for his years of China baiting for Murdoch media. Murdoch never really got over his short love affair with China and their quick divorce. The Chinese saw him for what he was a destabiliser and threw him out of the country along with Wendy.
If cause comes before effect any China prodding can easily traced back to News Corp and China's complaints to our do-nothing government about Australia's irresponsible media slagging them off. Bolt tried ever so hard to make this happen as attention had been turned off Muslims.
It's certainly not unusual behaviour for Bolt to throw fuel on the slightest spark for attention and then go into hiding when it flares. When Sky News was accused of inciting Muslim hatred and the NZ shootings occurred we saw Bolt scurry under his rock then as well. It took him 3-4 days to respond with "Don't blame me I'm the victim"
CHINA WAR: NOT AUSTRALIA'S FAULT. CHECK HOW MANY OTHERS IT'S BULLYING
China is punishing Australia for demanding an inquiry into
how the coronavirus started. China apologists - and, shamefully,
Victoria's Treasurer - are blaming Australia for pushing too hard. But
one astonishing press conference in Beijing proves China really is the
dangerous bully - and we're not its only victim. My editorial from The
Bolt Report.
Caught out after years of anti- China rhetoric Andrew Bolt does what every thug and rapists do when caught and say China made me do it "I'm the victim here". The trouble is the violence has spread into our streets and Bolt doesn't talk about that, does he? Chinese Australians, no Asians are in the meantime being abused and assaulted and Bolt has helped with that. He's been the fuel that helped started the violence.
News Corp is intent on destroying our second and third largest export industries Tourism and Education and it's not anything to do with the coronavirus but way before we even heard the word pandemic. Bolt was bellowing out his China hate Hansonite messages for years.
He is a puppet, a marionette an echo chamber for Murdoch America and Rupert's personal push to help the GOP start a war and blame China for all the nations problems. It helps Trump.
America's GOP discovered it always needed a war to stay in power and since WW2 has always lost them costing ordinary Americans some $6 trillion-plus dollars most of which went into feeding the insatiable Pentagon and it's corporate friends. War is good for business but not so much for Australian business, unfortunately. But then News Corp doesn't have Australia's interests at heart We have gone to Vietnam Afghanistan Iraq, Syria for America and got nothing other than bodybags in return. Even McDonalds makes a fortune out of feeding Americans at war and all their bases around the world. We get the scraps America doesn't want. Like paying $90 mill to build storage tanks in the US to buy their oil.
ALAN JONES ESCAPES HIS HATERS
COLUMN
Alan Jones’ enemies tried everything to turn his audience against him,
telling it he was corrupt, a woman-hater and — most shamefully — gay.
But his listeners weren’t stupid. Most critically, they weren’t the
homophobes the Left so often imagines middle Australia to be. They were
decent people who deserved the respect the Left never showed them.

Unfortunately, a shrinking number and revenues indicated that Alan Jones was overpaid and of no value to 2GB anymore. The same is happening over at Foxtel whose profits are collapsing that all it's CEO's spend time on is lobbying the LNP for welfare money or the death of the ABC. They don't pay tax and are a millstone around the neck of the American mothership.
SCHOOLS CLOSED FOR 'MESSAGING', NOT TO PROTECT CHILDREN
COLUMN
A mystery in this virus panic is why schools were closed. Now
Queensland's top health official admits it was to scare you: “If you...
say, ‘this is so bad, we can’t even have schools, all schools have got
to be closed’, you are really getting to people. So sometimes it’s more
than just the science and the health, it’s about the messaging.”
Meanwhile, Bolt ignores the mysterious deadly disease associated with Covid-19 that killing and infecting children. While no case has as yet been found in Australia Andrew Bolt doesn't seem to care if it does or doesn't because his children are now young adults. If he did have a personal and vested interest in protecting his socially distanced family he'd be singing from another page book.
Why hasn't Bolt named this mysterious "health official" here? Does he name them in his column or is this just subscription bait for a failing paper? Rest assured if a 'top official' did say anything he or she will have been seriously misquoted by Andrew Bolt.
Up to 100 children in the UK have been affected by a new disease thought to be linked to infection with coronavirus. At least one teenager, a 14-year-old boy, has died after
suffering a stroke caused by complications of treatment for the new
syndrome, which is similar to the existing Kawasaki disease leading to
an inflammatory response in the body’s immune system causing blood
vessels to swell. Symptoms include a fever, rash, red eyes and lips and redness on
the palms and soles of the feet. Some children have become so sick they
have needed treatment in intensive care units.
CNN PICKS GRETA THUNBERG,17, AS ITS CORONAVIRUS GURU
Greta Thunberg describes herself as a "17 year old climate
and environmental activist with Asperger’s". She is famous for not going
to school. CNN says she's exactly the coronavirus expert it needs: "An
upcoming CNN town hall on the coronavirus pandemic will feature
17-year-old Greta Thunberg alongside a panel of medical experts."

Andrew Bolt calls himself a Climate expert in the cover of an IPA publication he also makes the fake claim to have been educated at Adelaide University but has no degree to prove any qualification of any sort. He's often said he suffers from clinical shyness a social psychological condition. Yet he takes up and wastes public space on causes of far less value than Greta's. Is Bolt complaining that he hasn't been invited to sit on this panel? One might well ask what Aspergers has to do with Climate Change? Bolt seems to believe it's her all defining factor that defines her suitability for what she does like his shyness is his. Bolt might be better off not projecting his insecurities on to Greta's who has no issues dealing with her condition. Unlike Bolt, she is comfortable among crowds.
BRUCE PASCOE SPEAKS! BUT STILL WON'T PROVE HE'S ABORIGINAL
The Bruce Pascoe scandal deepens. The ABC promotes Pascoe
as an "Aboriginal historian", and peddles his bizarre claim that
Aborigines were settled farmers. But his claims to be Aboriginal are denied by Aboriginal groups. Genealogical records say all his ancestors are of English descent. Now he gives a weird interview to the Guardian
Australia.

With nothing to do but repeat himself adnauseum to a shrinking audience Bolt is fast becoming an echo of himself.
