And why does Murdoch have such a wide circulation? Hmmm - that usually means people are buying it. People choose what they buy to read. Obviously you are reading with the minority...
+1 x 10.Equalled over the last few years by watching Andrew Bolt comprehensively demolish Marr's dim bigotries face to face on Insiders.
They are of a kind, by pure chance on opposite sides of a debate.

And it's not only Bolt. Another icon of the left, who has been rubbishing Bolt, has put his foot in it. Burnside's credibility is now down there with Bolt's.

he could not recall whether the message he was replying to was a comment from @RobertaWedge, asking: "@JulianBurnside Are sexist abbots like predator priests?"

Quite true most watch the 6.00pm news or the current affairs programs that show dramatic footage of lost dogs, print media has been in decline for some time.
I remember being around a work force of 300 + (Managers, engineers etc) less than 1/2 a doz were interested in discussions that we are currently having.
Basilio, your postings and articles require some balance, imo. Not everyone agrees with everything you say no matter how much you use enlarged fonts...
Is this being used to further the attack on free speech in this country? Below are the viewpoints of other people: Sails
That was the point but i have a knack of winding some people.
Basilio,
I think you have completely missed the point I was trying to make. This is more about the left using this as a further attempt to silence dissenting media in this country and little to do with Bolt.
I am not defending Bolt on this issue, but what I find more disturbing has been the crowing from the left that one of the opinion writers of the Murdoch media has been found to have crossed the line in one or two articles. That doesn't mean that every opinion expressed in a Murdoch rag is wrong either.
But, as it is the Murdoch media that the greenie left would like to see disappear off the face of this earth, the jubilation is not about Bolt, but something else to lay the boot into Murdoch media.
It is the attempts from the left to control the media and subsequent freedom of speech that is the most worrying issue, imo.

A little more reading would most likely help with spelling and grammar issues, Todster...
Time to get over yourself and stop throwing silly taunts.
Let's not go down the personal attack route folks.
Pleeeeease.
...For those who need to be reminded Lang Hancock is the father of Gina Rinehart who has a major interest in Channel 10 home for your Bolt Report . The following link is to a clip taken from the film 'Couldn't be Fairer', Supplied by the National film and sound Archive. Our history, the indelible Arm Band.
It conflates so much in just over two minutes( do you have the time?). Were Bolts rants just a job application? To a big fat fruit that hasn't fallen far from the tree...[/url]
As I said in my last post, I don't think this is actually about Bolt. I think this has become a convenient platform for the left to lay another boot into the Murdoch media to gain public support in an effort to silence the information they are willing to expose.
Some truth in this, Newscorp are partly guilty as they should be giving him a junior reporter to check the facts/assertions or the editor should at least read the article and edit it.
He is willing to distort facts to make a point and should be brought into line because it is bad jounalism and will cost Newscorp a lot of court time if he keeps it up.
GEOFF Clark has admitted that he took part in a class action against Herald Sun columnist Andrew Bolt over the general "tone" of his opinion pieces.
Mr Clark said in an interview with the Herald Sun yesterday that Bolt's writing on a range of racial issues, not just the two articles reviewed in the court case, prompted him to take legal action.
"He's got a wide audience and, subject to what he says, that audience is swayed and he has a lot of influence," he said.
