Not a Tim Minchin fan. Thats ok he is but of an aquired taste. You know pedo type defenders like a Pell and Bolt probably wont like him.

Whilst I dont think much of this bloke as a Journo, the footage of him punching on with a couple of lefty protestors or activists is gold.

Apparently they went after him with a bit of glitter spray or some crap like that.

I dont condone violence at all but when sme young leftys go after a cranky old prick and get some back its a bit funny.

Good on him. Pity it's the only time the two deadbeats with arts degrees would have been given a dose of corporal punishment in their privileged snotty nosed lives.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

Would like to see this thread renamed "Andrew Bolt or Waleed Aly - who is the more credible journalist"

or

"Andrew Bolt or Waleed Aly - who would you vote for as preferred PM"

Aly easily IMHO but the redneck vote would ensure he didn't get close.

Applying the name Bolt to the word Journalist is like calling the kid who does finger painting on the iPad a Network Engineer.

He's a typical conservative pundit. Dog whistle rhetoric to appeal to the inner demons of the feeble minded. They lap it up, he then uses that as "evidence" he has his finger on the peoples pulse. Rinse and repeat.

He is a god damn genius at molehills, double meanings, twisting words and half truth's, though.

Ehhhh progressive types appeal to the margins and use guilt to fool people into thinking they're absolving themselves.

Slightly different paradigm, horseshoe effect notwithstanding,
