Andrew Bolt goes too far......


On Aunty's Australian Story last night Herald Sun journalist Andrew Bolt had the hide to complain that science was sensationalising climate change.
The day before he was on
his blog complaining that Senator Bob Brown was preaching green politics over the Victorian bushfire fatalities.
This is the same journo who callously wrote that the twenty to thirty sudden unexpected deaths (some probably hastened by the extreme heat wave conditions in the south of Australia) couldn't have died from the 40C plus temps because everyone knows that
"Cold, not heat, is what really kills people" and "Those who died last week were in less danger from global warming than from the deadly incompetence of green governments trying to "stop" it".
Who's using sensationalism and politics?
Why Andy is of course - with a thick covering of hypocrisy on top.

No wonder the Herald Sun's circulation figures have been on the decline, advertising revenue down and its parent company is looking a bit sick.

And no wonder people like me are completely out of patience with the ABC if it wastes resources on shows about Andrew Bolt.

ABC TV should be sold to the private sector while someone will still pay for it. They can use the money to improve the quality of the news network ... god knows it needs it.
