Why Israel Blows Up Media Offices and Targets Journalists

by Norman Solomon | May 21, 2021 - 5:25am | permalink

Israel’s missile attack on media offices in Gaza City last weekend was successful. A gratifying response came quickly from the head of The Associated Press, which had a bureau in the building for 15 years: “The world will know less about what is happening in Gaza because of what happened today.”

The impression we get is Andrew Bolt only works to rule. He's treading water and complaining he's locked in, can't fly out of the country he despises. That relationship with us has always been what it is and as his mother thought of us far to far from being European.

 It seems Bolt doesn't have the passion you'd expect from a lead journalist or other headline entertainer. It makes one suspect that he's not the real productive force behind his output and that he's just going through the paces. At sixty Bolt hasn't any of the enthusiasm he once had when he and Tony Abbott were "mates" and he felt he had the inside running rail and saw himself as a front runner.
