Bolt for freedom (of expression)
There they go again, those communists at The Age undermining our beloved standards of fair play and decency with their scare-mongering about ABC censorship.
When you've got Play School promoting lesbian marriages, and the gardening show promoting Leftist nonsense about global warming, why of course you need a director of editorial policies. Of course you need someone who will report directly to the managing director and independently audit individual programs and commission research on editorial issues.
That's the key word right there, of course: "independently". What this nation desperately needs is more independent people - people like Janet Albrechtsen and Keith Windschuttle - running the national broadcaster, so that biased pinko radicals like Dr Karl and Robin Williams are forced to stop answering the wrong questions. And deliberately deploying hypnotic tones and inflections which flagrantly influence voting intentions. One of the first initiatives by the new director will of course be to implement two new departments: the ABC Tone Police, and the ABC Inflection Rangers.
What seems to have been overlooked by the politically correct traitors who are running rough-shod over the community's right to hear all sides of any debate, with the right tone and inflection, rather than what Australian Story is peddling, is that the ABC threatens the people's right to have a democratically elected government by consistently presenting opinion as so-called news.
What is vital, of course, in our Prime Minister's long-overdue move for freedom of speech on the ABC is that we get the right person into the position of Director of Editorial Policies. We think we've found him: Andrew Bolt. Here's a man who's demonstrated his credentials as an independent, authoritative journalistic voice. And when he's not auditing and researching, we can have him read the news. And ask some really probing questions as presenter of the 7.30 Report.

Yep! Though I think there’s a case for having Bolt and Akerman doing it conjointly. Their combined independence and skill in knowing what is ‘right’ should ensure no bolshy, pinky, leftist, ever gets through the doors of the Australian Bolshevik, er, Broadcasting Corporation.
And whilst we’re at it let’s get some impartiality back into programming. Gerard Henderson to anchor the ‘7.30 Report’. The 'right' Jones to anchor ‘Lateline’. Andrew MacIntyre to takeover mornings on 774. Save us all having to do any thinking, won't it?

Totally inappropriate propaganda.
