Andrew Bolt is trashy and a liar, not a journalist

The fact that (so many) people even BUY the Herald-Sun shows how completely f*cked so many people are... and these people vote!

Bolt's article on Howard's reign as PM this week is an absolute classic!

Sticks it right up the left wing tragics who inhabit this board.

Some of the people qouted in the aticle must be some of the left wing losers who post here.

Hope they have a merry christmas knowing that there is another 3 years of Coalition government AT THE VERY LEAST.

Keep the bleating coming. It is quite funny!

In John Howards Australia the likes of Andrew Bolt are always going to attract an audience. The element of Australian society that openly and publicly oppose the policies of the Howard Government have been sufficiently demonised that such "Elites" ( a favourite Howard term of scorn ) as the artistic, the educated ( when anti Howard ), the environmentally concerned and those people left who care about more than their own back pocket are seen as at best, out of touch, or worse...treasonous. To critisise Howard's mob during this period of low interest rates and baby bonuses is to be "Out of touch with real Australia". To do so as one of the "Elites" mentioned above will inevitably earn you an Andrew Bolt column. He is nothing if not predictable.

As a Murdoch columnist ( where else would he get a job ? ) Bolt is fully aware of the readership he is paid to pander to. Bolt has been a willing participant in the jounalistic decline of this once reputable tabloid for some time. In an age when the top selling paper in the country thinks dressing a reporter up as a homeless person and having him beg on the streets of Melbourne in order to show us how these people are "Tapping into the streets of gold" ( a real headline ) shows journalistic integrity and responsibility, Bolt was always going to have his platform. Like the paper he writes for, his columns are shoddy, factually debatable ( at best ), mean spirited and short sighted. He fails to bring any semblance of balance to most of his rants and is a past master of selective quoting of those he is dragging over the coals. Some of the premises he uses to appeal to his more conservatve readership border on the ridiculous. He bagged musician John Butler for lyrics that Bolt regarded as un Australian. He claimed that Casy Donavon's winning of Australian Idol proved that the "elites" were wrong about many Australians being racists( what? ). He also shamefully danced on the grave of Jim Cairns and virtually declared him unworthy of anyones grief. The HERALD-SUN would love him, he is a real company man.

Cairns Crean Connor and Cameron

The morons who brought Whitlam down.


If Bolt didnt shed a tear for Cairns then that is just another plus for Bolt.

Cairns was an embarassment to Australian and to his wife Joy.

Cairns is good now because he is a dead communist.

Fair dinkum I have really had a gutful of what he writes in the Herald-Scum. (Don't worry I didn't buy it)
But he's totally so one sided and anti-greens/anti-arab, anti-anti Catholic, pro zionist, pro-amercian ass licker etc ...
What really gets me is his continual slandering of the green movement and he once compared the greens policies to the Nazi party.
This man is what is wrong with Australian poltics/society today, so many plebs seem to agree with him.
And you have other twits that agree with him on the radio waves, like Neil Mitchell and his crew at 3AKKK that it's hard to get an objective view through.
The way Bolt sticks up John 'mr liar about children overboard' Howard that it makes me wonder if he literally 'tosses' Johnny's salad (go to an porno site if you don't know what I mean by that)
Perhaps I should start my own Anti-Bolt site,. I tell you pricks like him must stop their garbage and muck racking and fear mongering.
I agree with everything that you say, his views are just so bloody extreme and no wonder he fins himself in courts from time to time having to deafend the absolte crap that he is paid to write.

What's more, English teachers are using his articles as analysis pieces. I can remember on the year 11 English exam there were several of his articles and a particular student raised concerns about why how come not a nother journalist was used. This is student was baiscally frowned upon and told to shut up or they would not ne allowed to do the exam.

Anyone else got any interesting stories with regards to Bolt's articles being used in high school English ?

There are 63 identified massacre sites in Victoria alone. If we did not shoot them then the diseases we introduced killed significant numbers, very similar to what happen to the native American Indians.
a) massacre sites identified by whom? what is the definition of a massacre?

b)how do you derive genocide from death by the introduction of diseases?

Extreme views??? Try the following from Margot Kingston

"the fundamentalist Zionist lobby controls politics and the media in the US and Australia"

Now thats extreme.

Bolt is pretty close to mainstream opinion. The majority of people voted against the republic, are anti massive aboriginal handouts, are happy with Howards refugee policy, anti the multiculturalism industry etc etc. Thus if Bolt is close to or in tune with the majority he cant be extreme.

Those who label him extreme are in fact much further from popular opinion than he is, ie the loony left.

Interesting that you choose to bring up Bolts court case. Did or did not Popovic hug a couple of freed drug traffickers?

Medusala when/if you come to Melb I will take you if you want to the back area of Melb Museum where you can investigate the documented Victorian Koori history all you want. I will show you the maps and the research that various researchers have completed over the years. Then I will take you to the Koori Culture centre and you can sit and watch the recorded oral histories that have been collated over the past few years.

Then I will take you down to the Portland area with one of the Elders and we will show you around the old tribal sites, including the permanent settlement that existed prior to the arrival of the squatters ( a permanent settlement? yes they did exist something that the deniers continue to deny)

Study the raw history, the answers are there, just need to open your eyes a little.

Note if you knowingly give a tribe some blankets impregnated with smallpox, then that is genocide as per the defination of the UNs 1948 Genocide articles.
