Andrew Bolt - is he a credible journalist?

[straight talker]

i really dont think either of you have any idea by the same token. you will both wake up very very soon as australia is about to go BANG BANG. and i will say i told you so. i think bolt is great just like you have your favourites who i and many others think they are a disgrace.

st, here's agraph of the Bolt show ratings.

By way of explanation, "The Gina Monologue" is another name for the Bolt TV show, as it's there because of Gina Reinhardt, the richest person in Australia.

Have a read of the comments - they're a parody of how Andrew reads graphs to prove his point

more credible than our government and its leader oh and throw in swan for that matter!

I'm not sure Bolt is a credible journalist as he veers into some troubled terrain at times.
I'm also not sure Crikey is a credible source of opinion when they pick their targets so selectively.
Go after Bolt your hardest, but how about the equally problematical Tim Flannery for example.
Flannery has made some disgraceful statements in the past about climate change and it's impact, particularly on Australian capital cities. What is more he is a position that mug taxpayer is generously paying for.
Crikey is a bit like McDonalds, you know what your going to get, day after day, a bit like Bolt really. They can scream at each other all day long as far as i'm concerned.

take it easy ronnie as there is a few on here that swear by it especially when they back gore,flannery,garnaut,gillard,swan and the labor government up! when they knock them crickey is wrong.

Pure Poison is the blog you are referring to, not Crikey.

A take on Andrew's write-up of the unemployment figures.

I like this bit

This type of misinformation via omission from Bolt is why it’s hard to take anything he writes at face value. Petty point scoring seems to take precedence over being informative.

Just for fun
