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 13/2/21 Morrison and the road to do nothing politics
It's
hard not to think it's not journalists who occupy the "Canberra Bubble"
as much as politicians with smarty-pants lines but no sense of
accountability, or even reality, writes Laura Tingle.
Mr Dutton handpicked 53 projects
to share in $8.5 million for security cameras and safety lighting in
the months before the last federal election, only five of which were in
safe Labor seats.
But
what would one of our top scientists know, compared to a Greta
Thunberg?: "I think the climate is changing. It’s just, how much of
that’s due to CO2? I don’t think that is in yet... Whether the heating
up of the climate is 20 per cent or 95 per cent due to that I wouldn’t
like to say."
" A sceptical scientist speaks" It goes to show what little Andrew Bolt knows about "science and it's methodology". All science is sceptical and is continually testing itself.
All scientists are sceptics. However not all sceptics are scientists. In this instance Clark is neither he's simply a spokesperson for the commercialization of science. Bolt is merely a leech attaching himself to Clark's accreditation and age which are simply incidental to the science itself but useful to Bolt's existence in a fake and deceptive way.
97% of scientists who have specialized in the study of Climate over the past 50 years have come to agree the planet is warming and it's due to the man-made increase in CO2 emmission. Bolt spent well over a decade trying to convince us of the opposite that the planet was in fact cooling.
In order to prove his argument he's selectively chose more often than not scientists who weren't even specialists or done any research in the study of Climate Change. In this instance his climate savant is Greg Clark and " no he's not a Climate Scientist" Bolt admits. However he knows more than 99.9% more than the 97% of all peer reviewed researchers it would seem why? Because Andrew Bolt says so and he's spent years trying to convince us the planet was cooling.
Greta Thunberg on the other hand believes in the consensus of the majority and has like Bolt been a commentator on that subject and has been far more persuasive than Andrew Bolt. So much so governments, financiers and industry are joining her and turning their backs on the ageist, contrarian Andrew Bolt. Far, far fewer specialists and non specialist scientists who do know 99.9% more than he does now disagreeing with him. So ageist Andrew Bolt compounds his stupidity by having us meant to believe knowledge only comes with age yet at 60 this university failure has proved the opposite. He's grown none the wiser but sneakier.
Clark like Bolt worked for Murdoch a Climate Contrarian whose son James walked away from the family business because of his fathers attitude to climate change. His father being the director of Genie Oil. Clark was involved in weapons manufacturing a massive emitter of CO2. None of these men have an interest in "change" if it doesn't progress their interest in commercialization and profit. Global warming certainly doesn't do that.
Four
days ago Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews boasted he had Australia's
best quarantine. Now his state has its third lockdown. If Andrews is so
good, why has Victoria been hit the worst? Had the most and longest
lockdowns? The most deaths? The most lost jobs? Andrews must go.
Bolt sounds like Trump using hyperboles "worst" & "best" Trump today would still argue his policies "saved million of Americans from death even though he watched almost 500,000 die. Economically Victoria actually improved the Nation's bottom line. We had the fastest economic recovery of all states and improved Frydenberg's figures. Yet Bolt still declares it the "worst"! Dan's lockdowns have proved to be strategically the best of the states so much so other countries have even stood up and taken notice calling Dan's approach the Australian strategy. Yes, even Holland the country Bolt would if he could call home, the UK and other EU countries have paid due attention. Imagine where we'd be today if Andrew Bolt was in charge? He'd be Trump trying to convince us he too had really saved lives.
Essential workers, the poorest, lowest and most needy on our social demographic ladder have been the greatest of victims and it's Andrew Bolt who wants them back at the coal face while he isolates and works from home. He is part of the safest class in our communitywhile yelling what he demands being done from the Covid free bleachers in Somers. He's Michael O'Brien's amplifier, QAnon down-under and booster of nutcases like Craig Kelly and George Christensen.
