| Andrew Bolt - ACMA decision about the columnist "beggars belief". |
Bolt's propaganda
It beggars belief that the Australian Communications and Media Authority can argue that Andrew Bolt's statements on climate change are
too hyperbolic to be factual (The Age, 8/8). So Bolt presents rubbish as facts;
ACMA then deems that as they are not facts they must instead be opinions. Hence
no one can ever be charged with not presenting facts correctly. Catch 22. ACMA,
Bolt's statements are fictional propaganda. He is intelligent enough to know he
is deliberately misleading people with rubbish. Climate change deniers
specifically use the year 1998 to try to back up their arguments, while no
respectable scientist or statistician would use this once-off extreme as a
standard. The year 1998 is a statistical outlier that means nothing regarding
long-term trends.
