If Bolt is offended by QANDA, I thought that was what he was fighting for, ie the right to offend others. Well, it's worked, he has been. Serves him right.
It will be interesting to watch QANDA tonight to listen to Tony Jones apology to Andrew Bolt over the racial debacle last Monday night.....An apology about the made up stories implicating Andrew Bolt in racial discrimination..
How low can the ABC go?

RADIO National breakfast host Fran Kelly will host the Sunday morning ABC1 panel show, Insiders, from April 27.
Kelly, who has been a regular panellist on the program and is a former political correspondent for ABC Radio and The 7.30 Report, will replace long-time host Barrie Cassidy, who is taking long-service leave to write another book.
“Insiders is a key agenda-setting program that kicks off the news week. In some ways it feels like my second journalistic home,” Kelly said in a statement.
From the ABC website this evening:
Should be an improvement over Barrie Cassidy if she keeps up the more objective approach she has displayed over the last couple of months on RN Breakfast.
Maybe Chris Urhlman will take over hosting Breakfast? He is wasted on presenting the usually boring "AM".

rumpole, I hope you watched QANDA last night.....Tony Jones apologized to Bolt and admitted the stories were false.
That female Professor got all she deserved.

I didn't watch Q&A and don't know anything about Marcia Langton but it takes a strong person to apologise in public so I give her credit for admitting fault. Something that Andrew Bolt is far too stubborn and narrow-minded to ever do for his many misleading and incorrect articles over the years.
So what does Bolt have to apologize for?
Please list them...I am genuinely interested or are you making up stories like Professor Marcia Langton and the the ABC has done on several occasions
Tony Jones and the ABC are well known for obloquy.
Marcia Langton got her fair whack. She forgot she wasn't in an academic cloister or a Leftist street rally, but appearing on a nationally broadcast program. Have you seen pics of Misty Jenkins? Give me a break. https://encrypted.google.com/search...OCtAbdjgE&sqi=2&ved=0CCMQsAQ&biw=1259&bih=866I didn't watch Q&A and don't know anything about Marcia Langton but it takes a strong person to apologise in public so I give her credit for admitting fault.

A CONTROVERSIAL television program on heart disease breached the ABC’s standards on impartiality, an internal investigation has found.
The two-part Catalyst episode described the link between saturated fats, cholesterol and heart disease as “the biggest myth in medical history’’ and downplayed the benefits of anti-cholesterol drugs called statins, prompting many to stop taking them.
Morrison clearly enjoys Abbott's confidence; after all, he has stopped the boats, or at least turned them back, which to the voters of the western suburbs amounts to the same thing, even if Fiona Scott still has to suffer traffic jams on the M4. And he is definitely a minister on the make; he has revelled in speculation that he could one day take the top job himself. Which should make the thoughtful very nervous. Allowing politicians whose ambition and arrogance greatly outweigh their abilities and character to acquire their own private armies is seldom a good idea.
To take just one obvious example: when Adolf Hitler gave his mate Heinrich Himmler control of the SS in 1929, the organisation was a single battalion of 290. Within a year Himmler had raised its ranks to 3,000 and by the time Hitler gained supreme power in 1933 the SS numbered 52,000. And so it went.
The bitterness within the ABC on the success of this government's border protection strategies runs deep,

It's an opinion piece that's been published under the ABC banner.
There's no rational justification for the comparison between Scott Morrison and Adolf Hitler and any such comparison shouldn't have made it past the cutting room floor.
Well, that is the free speech that is so important to most of us on this forum. Morrison can sue if he wants to, but I would assume the ABC had sought the advice of their lawyers before publishing the article.
I dont think Zachary is questioning the right to say that, but questioning the wisdom and impartiality of the national broadcaster in saying it.
