only just saw this.

andrew bolt is the worst journalist out there, on the same level as alan jones.

cannot write anything with an ounce of balance, and yet has the gall to accuse the ABC and others of bias or partisanship as soon as they write an article that disagrees him.

anyone that uses terms like "leftist" intended in a derogatory manner, as opposed to just criticising a policy, is clearly biased.

I turned in by accident this morning channel surfing over breakfast and came across Andrew Bolt giving Tony Abbott a hard time and keep bringing him back to the question originally raised about the relationship with Clive Palmer. It was all very polite, but he wasn't letting him duck it.

I thought it worth mentioning, as it may surprise a few here...

Andrew Bolt forced to apologise, again:

Every time someone pops up and accuses Barbara Ramjan of lying over the infamous university incident when Tony Abbott flew his fists into a wall, there has been a handsome apology to her.

If only you'd been listening on Monday night you'd have heard the latest in a series of grovels, this one from Andrew Bolt on 2GB's Steve Price show.

He just couldn't help himself vilifying Whitlam ... Bolt is surely Murdoch's love child.

With his last attack on Whitlam after he has passed confirms the answer is a resounding No.

Of course there will be cries of freedom of the press and free speech and he should be able to write what he wants. Of course, however a credible journalist knows when to show some class and when bagging a dead man is poor form. Something Bolt has missed by the length of bass straight.

The WA premier had a crack about Gough as well.

Bolt just does it for attention seeking

How So? The Murdoch press helped put Whitlam into office. "The News" had an editorial on the eve of the 1972 election urging people to vote Labor.

That's very true, but you'd agree that Murdoch turned on Whitlam in 1975 and did everything to destroy him?

Not saying that was right or wrong, just that it happened.
