GUESS THE POLITICS OF THE ABC'S GREEN
One of the least self-aware ABC presenters is Jonathan Green, now paid to discuss black dresses and which fruits are sexy. Recall his petulant complaint at once being pinged as Left wing: "How does Greg Sheridan have any clue what my politics are? We've never met... Beyond parody." Beyond parody is his recent opining, an insight into ABC bias.
One of the least self-aware ABC presenters is Jonathan Green, whose latest gig includes discussing black dresses and which fruits are sexy.
But if his self-awareness is small, his sensitivity to criticism is infamously monstrous, as eager collectors of his emailed howls of rage and spite can attest.
Greg Sheridan once noted the blinding, bleeding obvious of Green, who celebrated the defeat of John Howard with a party in which his guests were urged to bash a Howard pinata.
Here is how Green responded:
How does Greg Sheridan have any clue what my politics are? We've never met. Never had a conversation. Beyond parody.
I am not sure exactly what Green thought back then: whether he thought he was not really of the left, or whether he thought he had cunningly hidden it from the rest of us.
But for me Green remains a perfect example of ABC bias - which, by the way, in unlawful. I say that because he is actually such a poor radio presenter that even the ABC has obviously demoted him. You could easily find a hundred better presenters, yet Green still gets a gig ... and why?
Because he fits so perfectly into the ABC groupthink - that echo-chamber of tick-the-box Leftism. I cannot think of a single opinion he holds that doesn't fit the stereotype of an ABC Leftist.
Take his recent tweets, which I assume Green fondly believes still doesn't allow a Sheridan to make any conclusions about Green's politics:
This week's analytic narrative: that political victory seems to hug the centre? Maybe the fringe right is just a fringe?

That link went to this barbarity - and remember, Green thinks it's "very good".

Real men: Ukraine’s heroes shame us
Ukraine's heroes have shamed us. These real men have shown us something that we in the West think we've lost, having had manhood and patriotism beaten out of us.
SO TALKING ABOUT FAKE ABORIGINES IS NOW ALLOWED?
Amazing. Now there's even a play about white people pretending to be black, and the woke Sydney Morning Herald praises it. What a change from the days when it joined the pack attack on me for writing about this astonishing race-shifting. Read on.
We can’t sell our freedom for Chinese-Australian votes
Australia has 1.2 million people of Chinese ancestry. Now there are warnings that the Liberals should go soft on the Chinese dictatorship, to keep those voters happy. That toxic identity politics is a danger to Australia and an insult to many of our Chinese. My column here.
ROY SPENCER: GOOGLE PUNISHED ME FOR REPORTING THE REAL TEMPERATURE
Dr Roy Spencer runs the world's most authoritative measurement of the world's temperature, using NASA satellites. Google has now demonetised his website, where he reports the results. It accuses him of spreading "harmful" news - which is that the planet is not warming anything like as fast as predicted. Here he speaks on The Bolt Report.
What worries me most about Albanese
The Liberals are trying to smear and smash Anthony Albanese. But they aren't talking much about his real problem - the one that worries me most. My column from The Bolt Report.
