Bloging on a Sunday!

I was surprised to see that Andrew Bolt made a number of postings on his blog on a Sunday. I would have thought he would take Sunday off but then again maybe people are more likely to view blogs on a Sunday because they are not working themselves.

Most of Andrew Bolt’s posts are reasonably short. He usually has an extract of a story and comments on that story. There are links from his blog to the original site of the story. Not surprisingly the stories all come from Fairfax owned newspapers like The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald. There are no links on Andrew Bolt’s blog which will take you to a non Fairfax owned paper like the Daily Telegraph.

Bolt likes to keep it short with his postings. Today most of his postings were only a couple of sentences long. He takes a story and tries to stir up debate about it by making very strong comments about it. Andrew Bolt appears to be very prejudiced against Kevin Rudd in his postings. One posting today was about the likelihood of Malcolm Turnbull challenging Brendan Nelson for the Liberal leadership (http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/gone_too_far_for_nelson_to_hang_on/). Bolt still managed to get a shot in at Rudd on this posting saying how this allowed Rudd to “cement in place some myths about his competence”. After reading Bolt’s blog for two weeks it is not very balanced when it comes to Kevin Rudd. Basically every day for two weeks there has been multiple postings where Bolt attacks Rudd. It gets a bit repetitive because no matter what the topic is you know Bolt is going to have a go at Rudd.
