I dont attack Bolt because his part of liberal cheer squad or should I Abbott cheer squad.
I attack him because he lies and distorts the truth in short has no balance.
Gerald Henderson could be classed in that cheer squad,Michael Koger as well but I respect both of them because they don't omit facts and put forward reasoned arguments rather than bluster




"really distorts the truth"... so you really know what the" truth" is?...
well wish I could say the same...

so tell us where do you get this TRUTH FROM smithy?   not someone in the media for gods sake..

this is what I have already asked.. DO YOU BELIEVE ONLY THOSE THAT YOU PERCEIVE TO BE TELLING THE TRUTH??

this is what I dont understand unless you have contacts in the inner sanctum how do you know which one is telling the truth?..

perhaps ones a political journalist and the other just a columnist would make a difference... however to each his own opinion I say.. I read Laurie Oakes and more often than not get pizzzzzzzed off with him as no matter how shocking this mob is he still treats them with kidgloves and that makes me sick..

like I have already said if Abbott came up with this diabolical trading with human beings plan..you would all be screaming your lights out... yet not a word have i yet read complaining about it from the left..


I think you are the worst kind of hypocrites..on here complaining about Bolt.. not a word on trading humans..for money..sickening.

I forgot to watch The Bolt's first program

Bolt’s Report: worst current affairs show ever?

The reviews are in for The Bolt Report, Andrew Bolt’s new Sunday morning TV pulpit at Channel Ten — and they’re not pretty.

As Sydney Morning Herald media editor Tim Dick writes: “Not having seen every attempt at television current affairs in Australia, it is impossible to judge The Bolt Report the worst. But surely it comes close.”

Bolt is not dull, Dick acknowledges. But his TV show — more Bolt, less Report  — was: “It is named for Bolt, hosted by Bolt, and dominated by the Boltian worldview.” David Knox at TV Tonight agrees: “Insiders showed he is more effective as a commentator than host, a role which requires more moderating and less editorialising. Can Bolt possibly have it both ways?”

Or, as Dan Barrett argues on Crikey TV blog White Noise, if you’re planning a Fox News-style rant-fest at least do it loudly: “The Bolt Report feels like a low-rent cable news opinion-driven panel show that doesn’t have a strong voice. For the show to work, The Bolt Report and its host need to be bolder.”

But there’s only two metrics that really matter. For Bolt, that’s the reaction of his many (mostly Victorian-based) fans. After admitting he was “nervous for the first minute”, Bolt took to his blog to seek feedback — and the vast majority of some 655 comments are positive. “A breath of fresh air from all the other far left wing nonsense we see on tv,” said “John”.

And for Ten, it’s the ratings. They’re tiny, but about double the number of viewers who tuned into Video Hits the week before. As Glenn Dyer reports for Crikey (more detail in TV ratings), the show debuted with 163,000 at 10am with another 123,000 watching a 4.30pm encore edition.

And there was a big boost for Meet The Press in its new post-Bolt time slot, with 98,000 viewers its best result in years.
