Andrew Bolt - is he a credible journalist?

[redandblack]

Yes. Is anyone suggesting that it's the first such post on SAFooty?

As I said, I look forward to all such posts being deleted from now on.

At least someone could have been polite enough to let me know why it was singled out for deletion.

Never mind, such is life

[Q.]

Mate, I can only guess that that's why it was removed.

[redandblack]

No problem, mate, I understood that.

No big deal.

I know your hero Howard couldn't say it, bit come on Andrew it's easy........s-o-r-r-y

Will you admit that some fair skinned Indigenous abuse the system?

What an appalling thing to say. So Mr Bolt, if they're fair skinned it means they're not Aboriginal enough for you?

Read the post again toss bag.

Then look back a page for an example.

Toss bag? What are you 12?

You call that an example? A fair-skinned Aboriginal woman hired Aboriginal lawyers to try and get a lesser result (as everyone tries to, big money defence lawyers, QC's etc) and you idiotically call that 'abusing the system'?

Pull your head in champ.

"A nasty, misleading dog whistle":

Here’s a nasty homophobic dogwhistle by the Southbank Jester smearing lesbian parents (who studies still show are, if anything, better at raising kids than the alternative options):

What an astonishing coincidence that a boy so confused so soon about his sexual identity should be the child of these parents…

I used the word SOME. Not all. So how would you explain the woman in questions actions. Very naive of you to think it doesn't happen at all.

Yesterday I learnt that you don't have to have a drop of Indigenous blood in you to be declared Indigenous. Work that one out. Luckily, the majority of Indigenous think it's a scam as well.

Slightly off topic, but why can't some people have an opinion on Indigenous affairs? I believe in EQUAL rights. I have no problem with the Indigenous population being given assistance in the right areas. I have no allegiance to any political party (it's nice to be a free thinker). I have been to Indigenous communities, both good and bad.

p.s. If you go back through this thread, I have never said I agree with everything Bolt has written. Every now and then, he has a point, but it is rare. Everyone has a right to free speech, although some of you don't think it is the case if you disagree with it.

Lesbian or not, that whole story is just f'ed up.

Is any journalist credible? no......

Bit harsh. Many good journos out there.

[fish]

anyone who can disturb Green/Labor supporters in any way shape or form gets my approval. He/she doesn't have to be credible - just effective and the Boltmeister does it perfectly

End of thread.

Is he related to this bloke?

[redandblack]

Poor Andrew, he forgot that he was once engaged.

Ah well, who cares about the facts if it helps his argument.

Reading the article, i would say Andrew was lucky she broke it off. Obviously no sense of humour.

Watched a couple of mins of the Bolt Report today to help get the ratings up ... LOL, what a load of shite

Great show...love it!!

Doesn't sound like Bolt's radio show is going to be around much longer:

"Oh MTR, we hardly knew you. (Seriously, hardly any of us knew you.)":

Right wing Melbourne talk radio station MTR to close as early as tomorrow?
