Anyone watching the Bolt Report??
 ...what a joke, I seriously can't believe this guy has actually been given his own show on mainsteam TV  ...it's like an infommercial or watching a cable TV show from the southern United States on debunking Evolution  ...I shake my head
Sad day really...we now have a nasty TV jock to fowl the air too.

Don't like opposition? I'm pretty sure this forum is not the place for politics. You've blatantly made it one. Not everyone thinks the way you do Mike.
Lock this thread now Mods.... please - this is a good try, but no cigar.

Happy with opposition Chris but not from a nobody with no credentials and in a pathetic show format like that 
Did you watch it?

I did. I like the format and presentation. I didn't find it abusive or nasty in any ways. He gets the facts across. No more no less... and exposes the government of clowns we have now too.

He is hardly a nobody with no credentials, and with political background on both sides of the fence, having worked for the Hawke Labour Government and lately being a promiment Liberal party supported.

Before the thread is locked, let me categorically agree with with you mike 
The bit at the end of today's episode where he opens a coke can to show how harmless CO2 is was inspired idiocy Lets home this rubbish dies a quick death.

So far there has been no mention of politics, keep the discussion polite and the thread should be OK.
As far as the afformentioned Gents suitability as a presenter, I feel more than a little uncomfortable that someone with IMO a "knee jerk opinion" mentality is given space to air his thoughts.

There's no tip-toeing around the fact that some of us here have first-person connections with the current government, so it's very difficult for them to post a comment like this and it not be taken as motivated by something other than a mere dislike of the "presentation".

A bit harsh I know Chris, but the stupidity of people amazes me more very day!
Nothing to do with this particular show, person, or persons involved in this thread,
just in general. Edited above.
Cheers,
Jason.

I have nothing positive to contribute about this individual or his show so I will refrain. I have always been taught if you cant say anything positive just shut up.

You're completely right there Jason. It's a wonder we've come as far as we have.

Australias richest woman , mining magnate Gina Reinhart, as a new 10% shareholder in Channel 10 will be thrilled to have her mate Andrew Bolt on her station - she is a major climate change denier and funded the anti- climate change lobby group ANDEV.

The great thing about television is that is driven by ratings.
If nobody watches it then it will be consigned to the bin.
If people watch it and like it, or make controversy over it, then more people will watch it to see what everyone is talking about, and it will stick around.
I think Mike by making your comments, you may have consigned it to the latter.

I wouldn't waste my time watching Bolt. There's a new Sci-Fi show on ABC, Saturday 8.30, called Outcasts. I watched the first episode last night - has promise. The tension around whether or not the newly arriving ship would burn up entering the atmosphere was kinda cool.

Yep - the BBC is putting out some reasonable television these days. I quite enjoyed the first episode too. I hope that the BBC put the same effort into this one that they put into Spooks.
Sorry for the diversion....

Me too. The last thing I wanted was to divert the thread away from Bolt .
In Outcasts, it was a bit sneaky how the put "Apollo" from Battlestar in the first episode to suck in an audience.

Interesting how the cranky far left wont entertain any other view other than there own. Open your mind Mike, there are more realistic options other than OZ saving the world, and you aggressively trashing any opposing views to yours.
