News Corporation employs Right-Wing Broadcasters providing them with a platform ensuring the inequality of speech. Their Social Media Platforms not only advocate conservative, and extreme right-wing wing views. They monitor out most opposing opinions which they are entitled to do. However, they also simply lie when they say they provide an arena for fair and balanced discussion in a no-spin zone. They don't it's all spin.

Martin Luther King said “sometimes silence is the greatest betrayal of all’, or as General David Morrison put it “the standard you walk past is the standard you accept”.
A judge will decide my fate, and as a "true believer" in the rule of law, I willingly submit myself to that fate. How could I not, as it is the very same rule of law from which I claim my unenviable but inevitable duty. Whatever they decide, I believe that I did my duty.
David McBride is a former military lawyer and captain in Britain's elite Special Air Service and the whistleblower at the centre of Australian Federal Police raids on the ABC's Sydney headquarters on Wednesday. He was charged in September last year with theft of Commonwealth property, namely war crimes investigation files, and three counts of breaching the Defence Act. He was also charged under old secrecy provisions in the Commonwealth Crimes Act. He is due to face court on June 13.
The Federal Opposition calls the decision not to investigate the leaking of information about the so-called medevac bill "breathtaking" in light of recent raids on media outlets.
Republican lawmakers usually don't like tariffs. They're viewed as a tax on consumers and unwanted government intervention in free trade. But many Republicans, unwilling to buck Trump, were prepared to follow the president's lead and support 5 per cent tariffs on Mexico in his dispute over illegal immigration.
Plenty of Republicans, though, are resisting Trump's transformation. Those from agricultural, manufacturing and border states are particularly opposed to the tariffs on Mexico. Kansas Senator Pat Roberts called tariffs "a really awkward thing.
"And tariffs are like shattered glass. You never know where it's going to end."
Trump has backed down but wishes he had the power of the above Socialists. Mexico has stood up to Trump won't contribute to either his wall or support his inhumanity in the treatment of Asylum Seekers. In the meantime, Trump is on a slippery slide as he realises but denies he's the one punishing all American citizens apart from a very minority.
The article explores James and Lachlan's competing visions for Fox News, with James wanting to move it in a more centrist direction and Lachlan wanting to keep it strongly conservative. James Murdoch has since left the family business. He has reportedly dismissed the slimmed-down Fox Corporation, which Lachlan controls, as "an American political project".
Using 150 interviews on three continents, The Times describes the Murdoch family’s role in destabilizing democracy in North America, Europe and Australia.
His 24-hour news-and-opinion network, the Fox News Channel, had by then fused with President Trump and his base of hard-core supporters, giving Murdoch an unparalleled degree of influence over the world’s most powerful democracy. In Britain, his London-based tabloid, The Sun, had recently led the historic Brexit crusade to drive the country out of the European Union — and, in the chaos that ensued, helped deliver Theresa May to 10 Downing Street. In Australia, where Murdoch’s power is most undiluted, his outlets had led an effort to repeal the country’s carbon tax — a first for any nation — and pushed out a series of prime ministers whose agenda didn’t comport with his own. And he was in the midst of the biggest deal of his life: Only a few weeks before his fall on Lachlan’s yacht, he shook hands on a London rooftop with Robert A. Iger, the chief executive of the Walt Disney Company, consummating a preliminary agreement to sell his TV and film studio, 21st Century Fox, to Disney for $52.4 billion. But control of this sprawling empire was suddenly up in the air. Across the English-speaking world, the family’s outlets have helped elevate marginal demagogues, mainstream ethnonationalism and politicize the very notion of truth. The results have been striking. It may not have been the family’s mission to destabilize democracies around the world, but that has been its most consequential legacy.
How predictable is Bolt you can see right through him? He, at his Billionaire master's instructions, will spend the next weeks pushing and kicking the usual old cans down the road sensationalising banners to sell subs to their papers. The Global Warming Religion, the benefits of CO2, Science is crap, Coal is essential and will be their single approach to create concern. He won't mention the economic boom in jobs, and investment renewables have fueled and driven but will stick to the very repeated negative arguments that require neither work nor imagination. They are the arguments he's pushed in many cases for the past 20 years. Mind you he's dropped some of his scientific cherry-picked references one by Spencer that had him claiming the planet was cooling for the past 20 years, hasn't he? Coal, Carbon Tax, Asylum Seekers, Islam, Immigrant Crime, Nationalism, reverse bigotry against real white Aussies, free speech and overpopulation will be Andrew Bolt's lazy bag of tricks which will see him not doing much actual work as we head to the election. Just look how little he's done this week one wonders if he's done it at all his columns are all repetition and his blogs paywalls. In the election runup fear and panic will take over from debate and reason not that Bolt really ever used logic wait and see. However, there won't be a debt and deficit disaster this time around that was the three word slogan given Abbott. Of course, he will be boosting Abbott's stocks in preparation for an LNP loss. Kicking Julia Banks and defending the likes of non-politicians and non political parties like One Nation because he needs all these conservatives to fill the space on his show.

Andrew Bolt is so proud to be Dutch. Dreams of retiring in a country that's far more Socialist than we are. Far more Climate Change and renewable focused than we are and is far more Multicultural with a more non-Caucasian and Islamic population than Melbourne. Amsterdam's population is twice that of our's living in a smaller space. How hypocritical is Andrew Bolt in running down Melbourne voted on many occasions as the world's most livable city? Is it any wonder he feels unwanted here?
Repetition sure is!! He did it a few days ago. The LNP kicked off its 2013 term with trying to destroy the ABC with Abbott's broken promise of "No Cuts" resulting in a $200 mill one. It was followed up with another $80 mill cut and some government inquiries to prove it wasn't following its unbiased statutory requirements. All failed miserably, so severely they were an embarrassment to the government. It was confirmed the government had appointed CEO's, Board members not independently but directly by Captain's Calls. It was a fiasco showing the government was biased in favour of the wishes of the private corporate media in a quid pro quo arrangement to get rid of the ABC. Specifically, News Corp was the intended beneficiary of their political largess. However, they failed and failed badly in the process. Today's facts are evidence of what has been actually going on, and the threat of public awareness of this attack on the ABC could cost them votes. So $44 mill has been handed back in the hope of saving some face, not as Bolt has suggested a bribe or sweetener. As often pointed out the ABC is the best-managed and most trusted media outlet in the country running at the equivalent cost as it was in 1984. Bolt trying to say that's a burden which shows him up for what he is just a mouthpiece for Murdoch a stupid one at that. Murdoch wants the ABC broken up, gone as promised by successive LNP PMs who said they will take care of it but couldn't. So yes, this is neither a sweetner nor a bribe but a rapid attempt at backpedalling to appease the electorate.
ON TURNBULL'S HATRED
I tend to believe it of that vindictive man the Liberals stupidly made Prime Minister: "Finance Minister Cormann['s] bright commercial future has become as overcast... Turnbull allies have told Margin Call that a “salting of the earth” is under way to spoil Cormann’s once promising private sector future." And see what else Turnbull is doing...
PAYWALL
Bolt has it seems been reduced to being a paperboy on blog corner. Banners to attract his job. He seems to have gone on a work to rule approach to his new Instructions. Blog corner never really his own. His radio gig with Steve Price has gone, and his podcast never made on the 31rst. One can only hope the wheels are coming off and over promoted puff piece pretending to be an informed commentator. The banner says it all, doesn't it? When Murdoch Media has little to say in praise of the LNP they turn to blame Turnbull who they now seem to think is as powerful if not more powerful than the opposition. It wasn't that long ago we were told he was weak and had to go!! Bolt sounds just as he is dumb as bats**t.
ASK LABOR MPS WHY THEY DON'T BUY THESE CARS THEMSELVES
Australians, left to themselves, bought just 2200 electric cars last year. Labor, maddened with its global warming faith, wants to force them to buy around 575,000 electric cars a year, or half the new car fleet by 2030. Every Labor MP should be asked why they haven't themselves bought one of these cars that they now insist the rest of us must.
Sorry Bolt's totally wrong on that regard just as you ask why the Labor Opposition flies to the ACT. Bolt's childish questions asked when the country is in a state of transition expects not to take into account the state of current affairs. Why does Andrew Bolt a self-declared Australian Nationalist not holiday in Australia and dream of retirement in the Netherlands? Why because the state of affairs makes him paranoid about walking out the front door, but he happily lets his family do it. I'd call it domestic violence.
The reason the ALP hasn't changed over to electric like most of the world has and Australia is lagging is the fact there has been no enthusiasm on the part of the LNP to use their direct action policy to build any infrastructure to support such programs. Having bought a brand new fleet of fossil-fueled BMWs, they have shown no intention to do so. The question better asked why hasn't the Murdoch Corporation informed the Australian public what in fact is occurring elsewhere to encourage change. The news isn't their primary business is why they are lobbyists for the mining and fossil fuel industries is why.
"Fair and Balanced" is was[1]the slogan of Fox "Faux" News. It meant that their overall quality is at best fair and that their "news" is balanced with a strong dose of commentary, to make sure the viewer gets the talking points clearly. In reality, Fox News is about as "balanced" as Conservapedia is "trustworthy". This coming from the mouth of Andrew Bolt who works for the billionaire Rupert Murdoch who copyrighted the slogan "fair and balance" seems more than throwing rocks at people in glass houses. Particularly when business, finance and even the coal-fired power companies have resigned themselves to the fact that the days of coal are numbered and are demanding the government support a realistic transition to renewables to encourage cheaper power prices. That's something they refuse because supporting regression is far better. The UK businessman who saved Whyalla Steel is going it alone but publicizing and shaming Australia Internationally it seems just as Turnbull the truthsayer is.
14m One day Science is just another religious cult like any other. Today Bolt swings back to being a supporter of Science why? Simply because all other media is part of the "fake news" cult. They are "outliers" of journalism because they don't at every moment list the science that supports their "fake news" on warming and he demands they do. Bolt's the flat-earther who in the 2000s still demands journalists list the science that proves it's not flat. The gates shut and the horse has bolted and Andrew Bolt just refuses to accept that fact and like a flat-earther expects the 6000 peer-reviewed papers researched by the IPCC and the 97% consensus that goes with them be repeated ad-nauseum. each time the media speaks on the subject. Whose the outlier, the dork, the numbnut that wears his super man's underwear over his suit pants every day and not just Halloween?
2h Bolt's repeating and repeating himself he believes the truth shouldn't be let out of the box. That secrets, and gaslighting the people you serve is a far better strategy when it comes to running a government. Truth is traitorous BS and cunning the better way to go when it comes to diplomacy in the region. How has Australia been damaged Internationally? Bolt doesn't say guess he prefers to slag off China in his media blitz to promote us in the region, ignore anything Indonesia has to say because they are Muslim. Political infighting: 'Not really part of his brief': PM takes a swipe at Turnbull
It seems the salesman believes Turnbull is "out" and Abbott is "in" ignoring the fact that shonky sales promises more often than not result in massive embarrassment and recalls.PM's attack on Turnbull's truth-telling turns into a full-blown shambles
Of all the choices Scott Morrison could take, sinking the boot into Malcolm Turnbull was not the wisest.
6m Australian teenagers have a history and record of trashing their parent's homes and the Herald Sun used to be the first to headline the events. Generally, they were the kids of a wealthy and white middle class. Kids from the schools Bolt sent his. The fact is that rules changed with easy over-enthusiastic landlords providing rentals via Airbnb market and that has allowed Bolt to selectively pick the headline news today. The trashing of homes and rental properties has always occurred but as they are now affordable and available to a wider market the attention has turned away from over-energetic spoiled white kid's destruction to that of minority groups particularly if they are Sudanese or African. The other issues of damage in the Airbnb market are left silent. Rest assured property damage in rental housing isn't solely the domain of the Sudanese kids or their community but the reporting by Bolt is and can be guaranteed when it happens. Heis guaranteed to make out it's exceptional as if it's not uncommon to that group alone. When it's not and never has been. It's part of what's regarded as Rental Risk which is higher in the new AirBnB market desperate to rent.
TIM SNIFFS RACISM WHERE NONE EXISTS
Column Tim Soutphommasane has proved with a final smear of the Attorney-General why the government was right to drop him as the Race Dioscrimination Commission — but must not now replace him. He has misquoted Christian Porter to vilify him as a racist. See, when you pay a man to find witches, he must invent some where none exist.
You have to laugh at Bolt's next Banner" Tim Sniffs "when he has proved himself to be an ultra-racist. 1) Go to his son's IPA podcast last December and listen to Bolt's personal white boy's derision of the Sudanese Beauty Pageant. It couldn't be more racist. 2) Bolt selectively searches for episodic events that are part and parcel of short-term rental risk in which hundreds of accounts of damage are listed and ever more so since Airbnb entered the market. Bolt who once singled out white kids trashing homes when their parents were away has turned top report only the misdemeanours of the Sudanese and the implies it a whole community and immigration issue. Yes, Tim sniffs out racism but fails to sniff in Bolt's direction where racism reeks. Bolt isn't a nail he is a Bolt
According to Bolt, he's blaming SBS for reporting facts "It is running an ad to push its global warming religion that could make our annual winter death toll even worse, especially among poor pensioners." Bolt
The day before yesterday he went on to speak of "fuel poverty" that pensioners were dying because of "fuel poverty" a new term coined by the Tories in the UK to hide the increased poverty not brought about by fuel at all but by the austerity policies of the Tory government and the widening wealth gap that's been occurring.UN human rights chief to probe extreme poverty in the UK — RT UK News
Bolt's idiocy is palpable in his support of single-use plastic bags. As with climate change the world is driving against their use even in the country, he feels at home in the most of, the Netherlands. When we know that single-use bags are 25% of the pollution outflow from our river systems which are 90% of the pollution in our oceans. His banners are sensational not to convey news or rational debate but are there to attract as PAYWALLS to the Herald-Sun and his columns. Yesterday he claimed they were excruciating hard work. However, if you actually examine them what they are they a culmination of what he has blogged about for the past week and sometimes longer. All this to sell Murdoch's papers and to be have been repeated on Sky.
Bolt last week applied statistics when he said 5.5 people more died because of stopping the use of these bags not % but 5.5 people. Bolt's actually reported that half a person had died.
“Federal and state politicians should be honest about the likelihood that higher wholesale price expectations are the new normal, and that intervention to keep ageing legacy assets is a poor long-term solution. Instead, governments should keep the pressure on other parts of the electricity bill such as retail and networks.”
Green power is cheaper than dirty coal-powered electricity. If that's the case the average should drop but " There is no silver bullet that will drastically reduce the cost – and price – of generating and delivering electricity,” the Grattan Institute report said. It accused the energy industry of ‘gaming’ the system, creating artificial supply scarcity to drive up power prices." The fragmentation and privatisation turned the market into a profit-driven one rather than a service-driven one and now it's too big for any government to buy backand rationalise for the betterment of all Australians.
3h31 PAYWALL Bolt's all for a country with no Bill of Rights written into its constitution no Human Right's Commission at all. Then nobody would have the right to complain. So why does Bolt feel so at home in the Netherlands a place dearly love to retire to a Socialist country and one of the top 10 in the EU? Why because the country has everything he wants us not to have?"All the more reason to believe the real problem is the commission itself. Don't change the captain, scrap the ship." Bolt Is he really an Australian he certainly doesn't reflect the values of the majority of this country none of the values of the Netherlands and he certainly wouldn't survive in the USA with the attitudes he adheres to. He's complaining that the AHRC has sent a case to be dealt in the courts because in their opinion it was a matter of law. We know what Bolt thinks of Australian Law as well "f" the law I was innocent and should have been allowed to lie" " We're we privately assured such judgments would not happen"Bolt Who assured him judgements that he didn't like were never going to be made again the man in the moon? Bolt wants to scrap the AHRC, The Law, Universities, the ABC, SBS, get the drift? His man to do it is still Tony Abbott or someone groomed in the IPA in the future no doubt. When someone wants to single-handedly change all our Institutions and Culture I think Fascist is the appropriate word, isn't it?
News Corp would have no trouble in promoting the return of Caesar with Bolt the lead crier because the decimation of the ABC would be a priority. However why it won't happen is that the LNP wouldn't stand a chance of winning and that would be the end of Abbott. So nothing will happen for another 4 years other than Abbott will have waved goodbye to Turnbull Julius Caesar Born into a patrician family Senate leader Served as a commander in the armyMilitary governor of GaulJoined forces with Cleopatra to overthrow her brother in return for $Rebelled against Rome and took total controlReforms Made to RomeChanged the way people measured time –basis for our calendar todayGave land to his soldiersGave free grain to the poorIncreased the number of people who could serve in the SenateGranted Roman citizenship to many people not born in Rome4 bullets

Poll-itis is what Bolt tries to make us all suffer. Yes, the question what legacy has Abbott to offer the LNP when he does a 180-degree turn on his own policies. The inconsistency translates to a non-team player. Far from a generous man when you consider the number of people he abandoned. he created his own demise with Bolt the town crier promising "he will change" "he has changed" and nothing happened. So much so Bolt stopped trying to pump Abbott up and turned to ensuring Shorten's tires were going to be let down. Abbott filled a vacuum for a moment caused by Labor. He was the drover's dog who didn't win an election just watched one being lost. Is that the legacy Bolt is so proud of the one that had Abbott lock himself away when he became leader, to be the puppet of his own PMO. The Liberals in opposition will have no legacy. They had none with Abbott in power other than his Trumpesque laughing stock global image. Since he lost his position, returning to being a Murdochian puppet. Atlanta and the Alfalfa club his moment with GWPF, and other speaking engagements set overseas to be promoted in statement like terms like News Corp. He couldn't master the publicity at home that Murdoch could give him from the other side of the globe speaking to Scientology like groups important to no one.
Smothered by Abbott and News Corps news cycle. This in fact proves the lack of bias the neutrality and lack of bias at the ABC not so 2GB and News Corp
3h31 If the answer is this long winded and complicated you can be assured Bolt is throwing in so many red herrings his message is there to confuse rather than explain. 1) Coal-fired plants are cheaper and quicker to build. That's far from the case and we do have to build them because many of the ones we have are out of date. 2) The can generate electricity at a lower rate well that's not the case and if Solar and wind costs which are cheaper now do what they have achieved in the last 5 years coal will certainly be left for dead. 3) Bolt doesn't even consider the clean up and health costs involved to the community. 4) Why is Bolt pushing the same old tales which even our biggest Mining and Power companies have rejected. He stays silent on the divestment AGL BHP and Rio Tinto are doing in transitioning away form coal. It seems Bolt is more of an expert than they are. What of the banks and the market who is expected to pay for these coal -fired plants and mining operations. The Peter Costello Nationalized Super Fund? That's a bit Socialist isn't it? Bolt should Buy the Adani Coal-fired plant In India for sale for 2 cents and $5billion to replace. A whole package Aussie coal shipped to and Aussie generator in a market of 1.2 billion people gosh if you believed anything Bolt is trying to sell you that would be the bargain of a life time. However there are no buyers. Why are we then giving Adani $1 bill when he's selling his interest in coal power? As I said The answers should be simple but not according to Bolt confusion simply reigns and for a reason.
5m And still, the refugees are coming so what is the point Bolt is trying to make that the conservatives control the EU? He doesn't mention the UK does he and the swing against the conservatives. How odd is Bolt's focus on confirmation bias only? Maybe Bolt will announce the shift to the right in Uganda One should bear in mind that Austria was the birth place of Hitler and he wasn't a unique Austrian. it must be pointed out Kurtz does not represent the far right in Austria which is what Bolt hoped the far right didn't reach their highest vote scored in an election and actually ran 3rd. Germany's AfD leader quit after the election Le Penn did much the same. Geert Wilders didn't do as well as expected. Hungary is on the verge of being kicked out of the EU The rest seem to be not really doing so well remember when Greeces Golden Dawn was expected to be the government they seem to have fallen well behind. The UK has had a massive shift and change of heart with the rise of Labor from the grave and Ukip is where? Despite Refugees and asylum seekers the EU economy is booming which must be a great disappointment to Andrew Bolt Eurozone grows twice as fast as UK after GDP rises by 0.6% - as it ...
No significant changes have been recorded. However the Liberals did take a hammering in the NSW State election but survived.
Surprising no, not at all, the Catholic and Anglican Archbishops disagree with Bolt. They don't feel persecuted while Andrew Bolt ignores these leader's statements all together. Bolt prefers to make his generalizations from singular events paint o a wall of a church. These Church leaders are doing no such thing rather they are addressing and apologizing for the Church's history of past policies proceeding from an arching generalization of attitude to the pain caused. The resulting singular and negative events of bullying and pain and the inequality shown to all LGBTQIs. It's very opposite of what Bolt is doing. These leaders are telling Bolt he has no place in their congregations and is a relic from another era Bravo. He doesn't speak for either the Catholic or Anglicans but as expected Andrew Bolt ignores them.
"Yet even though he, Stalin, Mao and Castro then put their people in chains and kept them poor, faith in Big Government is miraculously on the rise again in Australia." Bolt
Andrew Bolt appears to be trying to throw "a dead moggy" into the argument to draw attention away from his obvious bull. The Chinese for one didn't drive their people into poverty they have lifted them out of poverty and have done it in less than 70 years. The Cubans have been driven into poverty by the trade embargo the USA set on them 52 years ago. Their social services far better than anything America has. Can Bolt get Ventolin for 0.20 cents anywhere else in the world? Get world class Education & Health free? The only reason the Chinese and Cubans have not developed faster is because the West had previously not welcomed them into the world economy. Even today Trump has slammed the door shut on Cuba
The growth of big government here has been at the hands of the LNP never has Security grown so fast and privacy been reduced to shreds than under the LNP and it's been on the rise ever since Abbott became PM. Even now Abbott and his cronies are calling for more of what they initially tried to dismantle more "regulation" of power. Now even Bolt is crying for government intervention. One needs only look at the stock markets not just of Australia but the world and see investment in renewables and divestment in fossil fuels is occurring at breakneck speed. Bolt is now calling for the government to do something about it . Do something about our biggest corporations regulate them BHP, AGL, Rio Tinto, The Banks. Peter Costello is calling to Nationalize the Super Funds to drive trillions of dollars where the government can then gain more leverage. Give a Billion of our money to Adani. So yes the "dead moggy "is telling us that this is Labor policy what Bull "True, this green power is expensive, unreliable and driving cheap coal-fired power stations out of business, leaving us dangerously short of electricity for summer."Bolt
Adani has a $5 billion coal -fired power plant for sale for 2 cents. Bolt's right it's cheap he should buy it if fortunes are to be made. Why would Adani also be India's buggest producer of Solar Energy? He's not selling any of those renewable energy plants, no quite the opposite, he's in fact growing them. Actions speak louder than words Andrew Bolt and they seem to be denying everything your saying.
7m
Bolt throws in "a dead moggy". Places a banner as if it's current news but relates back to 2011. Business leaders opinions are dragged up suggesting Global Climate Scientists interests and Ethics are driven by grants rather than than science condemning research science not only in Australia bit globally. Bolt could just as well go back and survey opinions when the majority of people lead by the church declared the world was flat. Does he believe that the majority of business people today believe the same? 97% of research has indicated that Global Science is in agreement that's after a study of 14,500 research papers were peer-reviewed. Bolt is simply discrediting Science as a problem solving method altogether and suggesting all grants would be better taken off the table. That's a step back to the dark ages.
However given the shift in the investment portfolios around the world there has been a significant shift in attitude of "business men" towards the science and technological advancement of renewables over fossil fuels. Putting your money where your mouth is is a great indicator that the world of business thinks Bolt and Abbott are wanking themselves for the sake of a few companies. What's Dr. Lomborg doing these days Andrew Bolt?
KHAWAJA BECOMES RACE VICTIM
Column Test cricketer Usman Khawaja two years ago said: “I have not had any incidents of racial stuff. Nor has my mum, who wears the hijab.” Australians so embraced this first Muslim to play for Australia that when he walked out to bat for the first time he got “an ovation to be remembered until his dying day”. But now he says he was a victim of racism.
Bolt makes it a practice of beating the shit out of individuals mocking them and their opinions in order to then stereotype others. He's been repeating himself attacking Kawaja with the same article for 3 days just mocking him. Easy work and that seems his priority because his attack of the man and not the ball ist Bolt pretending he's doing something of relevance.
Viciously attacking individuals is swatting flies suggesting there is no systemic problem to be identified.There are no generalized conclusions to be drawn just Bolt flaying at others Yassmin Abdel Magied, Waleed Aly, Adam Goodes etc have all been used in the same way. Declaring they are undeserving Australians and not the exemplary patriot like Andrew Bolt. Bolt is always flipping and declaring himself, the defender of the Christian Church, the crusader for Australian White Males and the protector of conservatives who are the victims of Racism, Sexism and bullying in Australia. Bolt even insists he's more indigenous than Adam Goodes and is disadvantaged because that's not recognized but mocked and misunderstood. He alone is the true Aussie.
In fact Bolt has hated Australia and Australians and did so until his mid 30s. His mother hated the place Bolt's loathing stemmed from her. He felt like Kawaja and would have preferred to have stayed in the Netherlands rather than come back. Kawaja on the other hand loved the place as a kid. We all wish Bolt did stay in his beloved Aalsmeer the center of Nazism during WW2 in the Netherlands. Because he clearly hates Australia even now. the place now.
Kawaja doesn't complain about Australia on a daily basis. He grew up and began to realize the country's imperfections. He's become an adult. He for one doesn't pick and attack each and every individual he doesn't agree with. He doesn't name or shame anyone. However if you read Bolt he does. He blindly goes after people. He doesn't just disagree with Yassmin he wants to destroy her. Despite the fact she potentially far far more productive an individual, potentially worth 10 Bolt s in simply economic terms than him. She's a mining engineer who can run an oil rig and bring millions into the country. What can Bolt do?
In a short 200 years this country's elite invaded, impoverished, stole land and children from the first peoples and set about disguising it in false histories taught to the the ensuing generations. Nobody until now listened to or paid any attention to the histories of the indigenous peoples. We never learned of the mind set of the British Empire it's slave trading, indentured labor it's drug trade and it's monopolization of trade ensuring Australia didn't develop industry to compete with Britain not just in Australia but in all it's colonies. So hated were the British that Bolt is so proud of they caused the American War of Independence. They were drug runners and the their investors the UK elite who were the government sucked huge amounts of profit and interest from their colonies. All along writing & declaring glorious and benign past.
Kawaja learnt nothing of the inglorious past of Australia in school and only as an adult did he hear the experiences of others and begin to realize everything wasn't as he was taught. Kawaja actually discovered blemishes Bolt's been complaining about the place for years about the general malaise the country is in due it's left leaning 'we' and fair go attitudes. The sound of Bolt complaints about the Pakis and Lebs immigrants not like his parents have been on going. His mother hated the place. Kawaja was quite the opposite until he experienced The Cronulla riots tuned into 2GB, heard Pauline Hanson Reclaim Australia and the UPF and read Bolt. Through them it became obvious institutional bigotry was very real. Kawaja took years to discover it Bolt was a bigot and was taught to be from the cradle. Big difference.
1m No Mention of Fox News and line up of sexual predators and that one of the biggest Hollywood players is 21rst Century Fox owned by Rupert Murdoch. Furthermore why is Fox News defending Trump? Bolt really seems to be the man down under trying to keep us from saying Murdoch's media Culture ie totally corrupt. It seems yet another red herring on Bolt's part to keep the focus returning to News Corp. There is something very PR about Bolt's efforts to keep attention on Hollywood. Could it be the attention Murdoch wants off Trump? Fox & Friends Hypocrites Attack Hillary Clinton For Reminding Us Donald Trump Is A Sexual Predator
ISLAMISTS KILL 239 IN SOMALI TRUCK BOMBING
The Islamist Al Shabaab is thought responsible: "At least 500 people are believed to have been killed or seriously injured in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, in one of the most lethal terrorist acts anywhere in the world for many years. The death toll from Saturday’s attack, which involved a truck packed with explosives, stood at 239 on Sunday."
Read Bolt's banner and what's the impression you get? Certainty however when you follow his link his actual reference becomes less than certain The Islamist Al Shabaab is thought responsible:
It's quite obvious Andrew Bolt has another agenda. The Las Vegas massaccre in the first days Bolt was referring to Islamic States PR on the matter claiming Paddock was one of their converts and Bolt focused on that.
Somalia is a Muslim Country so Muslims fighting Muslims suggests a significantly different focus on their struggle besides religion. It's a country where the youth can be bought for $100 a month to do whatever just as long as they are being sponsored. As soon as the $$ go the the fighters do to. Hardly an act of religious fervour.
However Bolt fails to even speak of the institutionalized butchery by Buddhists of Muslims in Myanmar creating 500K refugees in a few weeks. Nor does he mention the 1.5 mill suffering cholera due to allied bombing of the country. The rise of the Hindu RSS is witnessing the slaughter of Muslims in India. Further more how is it the rebel groups that Bolt refers to are all using brand knew made in the USA weapons?
I hardly think Bolt has a point given Abbott's Cabinet and Bolt's distain of those he chose as the "best" given what Bolt is saying about them now. Julie Bishop for one. There is no point going through the list. The whole issue is absolutely ridiculous. Bronwyn Bishop was great for what? Abbott almost drove Slipper his mate to suicide and Peter Boomgate Dutton was just fantastic, wasn't he. Abetz correlated abortion and cancer which was a very Bolt like statistical move and threw hockey under a bus. What are we to think of what Abbott thought of his best team. Trump seems to be doing much the same today and only 8 months have passed.
