He's fast become the Bauer Media Star at News Corpse. Taking on tabloid sensationalism to attract lost attention. Like Bauer, he's actively reducing the value of Murdoch's Australian asset. Can Murdoch's investment in Australia shrink further than it already has? Their only avenue of survival seems to be to getting rid of the ABC. Hardly an action of self-belief in what they do.
Murdoch doesn't like to hang on to losers suggesting Trump has seen his use-by date moved forward by increasingly less supportive PR by Fox while still of some use.
 Bolt certainly isn't he doesn't have the ear of our PM like Carlson, Hannity and others do Trump. Gone are the days when he was boosted by Abbott. Now he's just a reminder of someone who desperately buys others on his show to do the talking for him. When he does open his mouth he's ever so predictably repetitious. He's become a one-trick pony in the world of media. Discarded by Fairfax's 2GB where he thought he was an essential and dumped by his own effort at podcasting. He's now reduced to this to attract an audience.  Where is MILO?? (ODT)
