[nero_bolt]

Dont forget to watch The Bolt Report every Sunday  on Channel 10 at 10am and 4pm

Join Andrew Bolt, one of Australia's most read, most topical newspaper columnists, as he addresses today's political and social issues through opinion commentary, panel discussion and interviews.

This week

Abbott’s deficit tax. Sacrifice or suicide?

My guest: Amanda Vanstone, former Howard Government minister and member of the Commission of Audit.

The panel: Michael Kroger and Cassandra Wilkinson.

NewsWatch: Rowan Dean.

So much to discuss: destroying the handout mentality, the deficit tax and growing corruptions scandals. Plus:  the menace of Clive Palmer’s money and the arrest of a man who quoted Churchill in public.

And this: is Labor’s what-budget-crisis? strategy clever politics or a reckless betrayal of the national interest?

Your Say and more.

The videos appear here.

Julie Bishop hey? I suppose Bolt needs to cozy up to her as Abbott won't be around for long. I must watch it.

[cherry*135]

I think Bolt is hedging - he doesn't want to slam Abbott too hard incase he remains PM, if Abbott goes he wants to suck up to any candidates for the PM position.

He doesn't need to "suck up" to anybody.

He's the most widely read journalist in Australia, has his own television show and the biggest and most popular blog in Australia, writes for 2 mainstream newspapers and is guest writer on many other publications and people generally like his manner.

So......suck up?" nah...... just wishful thinking from the leftists.

The only people who are too cowardly to go on his TV program is  Bill and the greens and who really wants to listen to them anyway.

Also returning to Ten this year was The Bolt Report, hosted by News Corp columnist Andrew Bolt. Bolt, which screens at 10am, has less than half the audience of Insiders. Last Sunday it had 151,000 to Insiders’ 310,000 on one channel alone.

that's probably why 10 were considering dropping his show

Don't forget that half of his audience are only watching it for a laugh Deb 😄

The Guardian...

[debra9275]

just a little bit of fact 

[cherry*135]

He's the most widely read journalist in Australia.

That is not 100% accurate.

LOL, he has something to that effect on his blog- but no credentials to back it up. Anyone can claim that!

people generally like his manner.

How did you arrive at that conclusio?. If we are talking a personal view only, mine is he seems one of the most laughed at in Australia.

I stand by my statement about sucking up.

Ratings

The program debuted with 163,000 while the encore received 123,000 viewers.[3] The debut was narrowly beaten by Insiders, which received 172,000 viewers.[4] Bolt stated on his blog he would like to beat Insiders[5] on which he had appeared for 10 years.[6] He reached this goal in his second episode, reaching 174,000 viewers, beating Insiders with 166,000.

In 2011 ratings for the show declined to 136,000 viewers for the third episode and 131,000 for the encore. This compared to 207,000 for Insiders.[7] For the remainder of 2011 The Bolt Report remained at the bottom of the free-to-air ratings for its timeslot.[8] This contrasted with The Bolt Report's 2012 ratings share which regularly exceeded that of Insiders.[9] In July 2013 the number of viewers of the program was approximately 168,000.[10] In November 2013 the program had an estimated 104,000 viewers.[11]
