As we all know,
Andrew Bolt is a staunch climate change denialist and pro-pollutionist. We know
because he pushes his nonsense almost daily on his online blog at the
Sun-Herald in Melbourne and quite frequently on his talk show The Bolt
Report on Channel 10.
What’s not quite
so well known is the reason why he so vehemently opposes climate change
science. One possible answer is blindingly obvious; he gets paid to – and not
just by Murdoch who, incidentally, has his own
vested interest in denying climate change.
Bolt has extremely
close ties with neoconservatives and is no doubt familiar with the various financial
offerings made by neocon think tank organisations like the American Enterprise
Institute (AEI)
that have offered up to $10,000 for articles that undermine the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) reports.
One wonders how
much of this money has found its way into Bolt’s coffers. You have to wonder
who are paying his very significant legal bills and question where that money
comes from and why they keep paying them.
Bolt is a paid
propagandist but you can bet your boots it isn’t just Murdoch that’s paying his
bills. One has to ask if, and how much, are neocon organisations like the AEI
paying Bolt for his commentary – and whoever else.
I know this is off topic but it is about Bolt facts.
ReplyDeleteQuote: "WHY have the Greens — and leftists such as former prime minister Malcolm Fraser — made Sri Lanka their favourite villain? "Is it so they can now attack Prime Minister Tony Abbott as a criminal for sending back two boats with 200 [alleged] Tamils intercepted a week ago? "
Basically Bolt is calling Christine Milne MP, Malcolm Fraser, Retired PM, Chief Justice Alister Nicholson, his mates Steven Harper Canadian PM & his security, David Cameron British PM ,MI5 and a host of other heads of state uninformed liars for condemning the Sri Lankan government's record on Human Rights abuses.
Like the misinformed 97% of scientists of Climate Change the UN and the security services of a host of countries are in total error about the Sri Lankan government. There is no chance let alone 51% chance that current lot of asylum seekers are being handed back like "Jews to the Nazis".
If as Bolt says they are merely "alleged" Tamils why are they being handed to Sri Lanka anyway? That alone is criminal let alone giving their navy two vessels.
Just received my check for over $500.
ReplyDeleteSometimes people don't believe me when I tell them about how much money you can earn filling out paid surveys online...
So I show them a video of myself actually getting paid $500 for doing paid surveys to set the record straight.
