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 15/3/21; Slipping and Sliding Morrison; Ask Jen; Government punishment; Stairway to Money and the basement winners and losers;
It's simply a numbers game "sign here" enables grifters to suckle off the Government's tit. It's called theft and Australians pay. Government abdication of any responsibility has allowed the government to be robbed not with a bun but a pen. Child Minding, Education, Aged Care, Immigration, are just some areas the government has provided a gateway to money for nothing and now even chicks for free its been revealed.
International
students are transferring to cheaper vocational courses to save money
while the education agents who recruit them claim thousands of dollars
in commissions and bonuses from private colleges.
Another
kick in the guts for the local screen industry as Stan, owned by Nine
Entertainment, chaired by Liberal Party stalwart Peter Costello, is
exempted from local content rules and foreign streaming giants such as
Netflix are structured to skirt them too. As for the Coalition’s
supposed rescue package for small players it is simply Kafkaesque and
designed to fail. Elizabeth Minter reports.
Normally
I wouldn’t tell you something this sexually explicit. But we can’t be
delicate if the price of prudery is that the possibly innocent Porter is
destroyed. You see, I’ve finally seen the complaint written by the
woman who claimed Porter raped her 33 years ago, when she was 16 and he
17. My God.
Having been publicly outed for gaslighting us with his Perry Mason like attempt at "proving" Porter innocent with his failed facts gleaned from a dossier he's never read. Bolt true to form never apologizes. The blinkered misogynist salesman of sleaze but self declared moral man has found a new opportunity to try selling us subs to Murdoch's "no news" broadsheet the Herald Sun while belting Louise Milligan for reporting the "anonymous" letter which he wished he was sent.
Bolt's approach is so dated it's existence can only be found in anything Murdoch. It mirrors the tactic of that older tabloid now defunked "The Truth" which failed for the lack of money. The Truth however never pretended to be "news" except for the best racing, form guide it delivered in its day. The " Normally wouldn't" Bolt is about step up from being the media crusading defender of Porter to being the prosecutor, judge and jury of a dead woman while dancing on her family to do it. Something the ABC, Louise Milligan and media in general haven't done. As for Christian Porter well he's a big boy in hiding who if and when he comes out will have to meet the press. Bolt is working as hard as he can to have him sit down exclusively with him in public. Murdoch we know will get the contract but Bolt is really competing with his team for the gig.
UPDATE
Fighting for his political life AG Porter has done what the LNP has done for the past 8 years blamed others and what a surprise it's the ABC and Louise Milligan for reporting an "anonymous letter" and an "allegation" made about an "unnamed Cabinet Minister". Porter claims that put "him in the frame" as far as the public was concerned. He wants us to believe he was the only suspect in a game of public Cluedo.
The case will fail but it's seems Porter and the LNP have been advised that "throwing a dead moggie on the table" will drive a forced media silence like it did for Craig McLaughlin and Geofrey Rush unlike the media noise generated around George Pell who didn't sue.
A media cone of silence to dampen any media noise during this year's election seems more political than personal. Despite there being a questionable case to answer as far as the ABC and Milligan are concerned. It could be argued it's a typical LNP vexatious political action to silence bad press before the next Federal election. It certainly seems a questionable civil tactic alone given Porter and the woman were unknown. However at what cost to whom will it be, Go Fund me LNP donors? The public announcement has a Trumpish feel about it. ALP's 52% to 48% Polling and the WA trashing of the LNP was bound to have had an impact.
Tracey
Spicer praises the leadership of consultancy Gemaker - "excellent",
"brava" - for paying female staff to go to a women's march. Not
declared: Spicer is the head of Gemaker's Media and Communications.
Andrew Bolt's "revelation" coming from a News Corp storm trooper. "Spicer is paid by Gemaker". Sounds like cadet's attempt at a scoop that and editor would declare a failure saying "fuck off kid try again" Hardly intriguing as Bolt fighting for the gig with Christian Porter like he had with Pell. Someone in News Corp has that one bagged already and it won't be Bolt.
Spicer certainly doesn't sound as desperate as Bolt. Nor has she anything to apologize for. Bolt was caught spreading bullshit with the agency of his fabricated fake facts which when caught red handed "hasn't mention" again. He actually made Kroger look an idiot and I'm sure that wouldn't have helped Bolt's credibility in the future.
However Bolt really is a one trick pony isn't he flipping and reversing what has actually happened. Gemaker aren't "paying" female staff to go to the march at all. If any choose to go their pay simply won't be docked. If News Corp is in the business of pushing a political agenda and prepared to legally defend its staff with lawyers, insurance and mountains of money. Then Gemaker's action might be a donation aligned with the cause of women it's not however a giant Corporation recruiting staff for war.
The
Left is winning the culture wars in large part because collectivists
hijack much of the taxpayer money given to cultural organisations. Think
of the ABC, SBS and Australia Council. Latest example: Monash
University Press - its books and its party.
Is this an effort to cancel the current culture in tertiary education? Something Andrew Bolt experienced but failed to ever understand. Are leftists actually breaking rules or the laws established by universities to allow students of all persuasions to be active participants in its functioning. Has any actual theft occurred? The answer it seems is an emphatic no! With all the LNP subsidies Murdoch media thrives on Bolt is the one ripping us off.
Think ABC and SBS Bolt says if we do we see this "No Cuts" LNP government has reduced the ABC's budget to 1984 level and attempted to do the same to SBS while handing generous amounts of free money and paid for advertising to News Corp, Foxtel and Sky who preach their cause. In fact the LNP government has been doing this while Murdoch media have been laying off staff in particular journalists and recently accepting millions in JobKeeper. Mainstream Media in Australia has never been so imbalanced, biased and coddled. So much so News Corp and Sky After Dark are simply propagandists, PR platforms suckling off the taxpayer tit at the behest of the LNP.
Bolt's suggestion that Monash University is in any way comparable to News Corp, and Murdoch media's unvetted, or unaudited transactional arrangement with the LNP and it's use of our money is the equivalent of pissing into a cyclonic wind. Currently Foxtel streaming and Stan run by the Costello run Ch9 are under no obligation to produce Australian content. Monash University is SBS and the ABC are. So yes Bolt is gaslighting us.
