The Bolt Report

[IFocus]

I think he can sometimes be quite rude in his interviews and this can turn people off, but I have to admit - he regularly asks the tough questions when the MSM lap dogs just repeat whatever they are told. More tough questions pls and dig into the answers - way too much fluffy spin from politicians and AGW alarmists in general.

I have only ever seen him push his agenda and talk over people when they don't follow his script.

His interview of Abbott was just pathetic no hard questions there.

LOL - like Kerry O'Brien used to with labor interviews? Now you know how very frustrating it is. Thank goodness for Bolt. He is rattling all those who have denied labor bias in the ABC. We have had to put up with it for years and so now it's your turn...

I'm not certain what his "agenda" actually is, but I'm yet to see him talk all over people to the extent where his opponents can't actually say what's on their mind. I do however like the logic he uses in "peeling back the onion layers" to expose the reality of ones answers - this style I like. Many including the ABC will let a deeper question opportunity slip by.

Agree. If Andrew Bolt achieves nothing more than this, his program will have done the country a service.
I haven't seen it yet. Not on in the regions, apparently.

Sunday afternoon at 4.30pm on TEN?

Considering it's only Bolt's second week the results are pretty good. As time goes on, he can only improve. It was good to see both Costa and Costello on the last show.

Thanks very much again: In only our second week we’ve beaten Insiders, despite its advantage in having Julia Gillard and a 10-year start:

The Bolt Report Ten 174,000
Insiders ABC1 166,000

Our figures are 11,000 up on last week, and the 4.30pm repeat was up, too, at 129,000.

We’re chuffed.

Between Abbott, Bolt, Alan Jones and Hadley, I believe many Aussies feel there are people out there voicing their concerns for this country.

Insiders and Bolt are on different timeslots. Bolt is against Alan Kohler on his business program. Good on him for stirring the pot, I just hopes he follows the facts. He is known for distortion.

Getting payed to push the anti climate change argument is a starter..........

 

[Logique]

IF, there's an article in today's Australian, examining a couple of decades of Fed Govts, it says Labor have been the best in restricting spending as % of GDP.

The Insiders: Lenore and Laura were there to ride shotgun on poor Stuchbury.

Bolt Report: what is with that background, big red letters. What is it, the Nuremburg Rally? Just so wrong. Could you make the letters any bigger Andrew?

1/ Substantiate please

2/ Do you not think that Gore, Hansen et al are getting paid to push the pro AGW argument?

Bolt got pulled up on the insiders a while ago when he failed to declare don't have a link, BTW attacking Bolts credibility which = 0 latest court case just confirms that point but will give him 100% for sheer arrogance.

Not interested in the climate change argument as it has stopped raining in Perth and we will run out of water summer 2011/12 + hottest summer months on record. Hopefully the weather will change.

PS thanks for the spelling correction thought it looked odd.

I take it you're messing with my head about the Australian didn't see the article

The budget just released has real fiscal restrain of holding spending growth below 2% some years at 1% but you wont see that in the Australian or on the Bolt.

No mate not at all. The Howard Govt sent out plenty of middle class welfare too. Especially leading up to the Rudd election.

1/ So not substantiated.

2/ You brought up it up and then dodge the issue.

For anyone interested to hear Peter Costello - he will be on the Bolt Report this Sunday:

On The Bolt Report on Channel 10 on Sunday: Peter Costello, Michael Costa, Dr Andrew Phillips and, joining me in the studio to talk about September 11 and more, the Opposition’s foreign affairs spokesman, Julie Bishop. Plus: has the ABC given Julia Gillard a secret weapon?

Sunday, at 10am and 4.30pm.

Hope you weren't one of the people who bagged Barnett for the pipeline idea.
Actually $12billion cost doesn't look like much, when you compare it with $40-$50billion N.B.N.
Water we need to survive, internet we managed for a long time without it.
Yet funnily we put more value on the internet.

I absolutely was one of the people who bagged the idea.

1st you have to build the pipeline, expensive..............then you have find the energy get it to pumping stations and pay for it to move the water 1000's of Klms, really expensive.

All for 2 million waste full end users living in an urban sprawl housed in Mac Mansions.


In engineering terms at the time the whole idea was bizarre.

Why do you think they are pushing so hard for the gas hub at Broome. They will use gas to pump it and its not if but when.
At the time it was only an idea but as usual it all was blown out of context.
Reliable water down the West coast would cause a real boom.
As for expensive, the N.B.N is expensive and produces nothing. Now that is bizarre

...

...

I like the idea of pumping water, should climate change we can always pump water the other way.

As for mac-mansions using it and throwing out, I liked another idea of cleaning waste water as cheaper option or as complimentary to desalination.

After all there is a lot of water, problem is location and impurities.

Herald Sun columnist Andrew Bolt has lost his racial vilification case in the Federal Court of Australia.

Some people are concerned that this ruling will harm healthy debate in this country:

"Institute of Public Affairs director John Roskam said today's ruling would harm healthy debate in Australia.

"It's going to have a chilling effect on freedom of speech and it's more likely to create racial intolerance,'' he said."
