I have chosen to review the blog of Herald Sun columnist Andrew Bolt. He is a controversial political commentator and his blog should be interesting. The url is http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/.
Andrew Bolt posts on his blog very frequently. His postings concern currents events and his comments on the breaking news of the day. The vast majority of his posts relate to political news. On Wednesday 9 April Andrew Bolt made 15 separate postings on his blog, spaced throughout the day from 5:00 am to 6 pm. All of his posts drew comments from readers. Today’s postings covered a number of issues with the controversy surrounding the Olympic torch relay being a major focal point.
Of particular interest was Bolt’s posting regarding the 60 minutes story from Sunday night. The story involved a father and daughter who have been found guilty of incest. It has emerged that 60 minutes paid the father and daughter for their interview. Bolt’s criticism of this was strong and he drew strong support from his readers. I agree with his assertion that it “stinks” that these two people should benefit from breaking the law. Profiting from crime is immoral and illegal and 60 minutes should not have paid them for their interview. If they wanted to do a story on a murderer would they pay him for his interview as well? It is difficult to tell where 60 minutes would draw the line after a story like this.
