Conservative commentator Andrew Bolt's television show The Bolt Report has reportedly been axed by Channel Ten after more than four years on the network.

According to a report by The Australian, the Sunday morning political discussion program has not been renewed by the network in 2016, with speculation Bolt will join the Sky News line-up.

Will Andrew Bolt's The Bolt Report stay on Ten or move to Sky?
Will Andrew Bolt's The Bolt Report stay on Ten or move to Sky?

In a blog post on Monday morning, the News Corp columnist said he was considering his options and denied reports Channel Ten didn't want the show anymore.



"This is not true," he wrote. "The issue is that my show is produced by News Corp, and several options are being considered which I can't discuss and which I am thinking about. If anything, they involve doing more TV, not less."

Bolt echoed these sentiments in a statement to Fairfax Media.

"I can assure my devoted followers at the Age that, alas, I will still be around in various forms," he said.

A spokesperson for Channel Ten told Fairfax Media no decision had been made either way on the 2016 season of The Bolt Report.

After appearing on ABC's Insiders for a decade, Bolt launched his own political show in May 2011 and announced his intention to beat Insiders in the ratings.

The Bolt Report did manage to pip Insiders on its second episode, but as of November last year was pulling less than half of the ABC program's audience.

According to OzTam figures, just 113,000 tuned in to see Bolt's program as opposed to 287,000 who watched Insiders.

Bolt is currently travelling around the country filming an ABC documentary on Indigenous constitutional recognition. Screen Australia described the program as a "provocative one-off documentary".

Said Bolt on Monday: "Just what I will end up doing and in what form is something I am thinking about at long leisure as I saunter around the country filming a documentary for the ABC, something which has turned out to be such fun that I wouldn't mind more of the same."

The journalist is renowned for his divisive views. In December, fellow Ten host The Project's Waleed Aly condemned Bolt on-air, calling his reporting on climate change irresponsible and inaccurate.

It seems Bolt is about as relevant as Tony is these  days  ;D ;D

can't say I ever watched it..

the problem was.. was that he didn't put his show on an irrelevant tax payer funded network like the ABC or SBS

he couldn't have played the show 24/7 with no viewers

Ch10 had the intelligence to realise Waleed was the one making sense , and moved the deadwood along . Maybe he can get a job at the DT with the other loonies  :D :D :D

most of the right wingers are people of action and not prone to endless hours of TV addiction.

they are out being successful in the world or are relaxing by going to the gym to improve their health or doing macho sports like fishing or hotting up their cars.

lefties who are beaten down, hate their lives, have success barriers and a nihilistic world view are addicted to the ABC shows which re affirm their chode status.

Television is the consolation prize for being a failure in life.

Bolt is doing a good job if no one is watching as it means they are out there in "planet earth' which i call "reality' and they are achieving more then an emotional buzz from watching Jones and feeling "morally superior "

Yes of course, but that is just your ego talking after all...

Have no fear, Mr Bolt will turn up again somewhere.

Just like a bad penny.

I am a labor voter and the only time I watch TV is Prime7 News, Channel 7 News and the ABC news.

I do watch any football or cricket that is on free to air TV and no I haven't got pay TV.

So you are saying that I am not being a failure in life because I don't watch much TV.

He was on air for four years, so Bolt did pretty well.

Sort of that is the point.

a person who is aiming at ego reduction would be out bushwalking, doing contemplative fishing or immersed in the passionate joy of running their business.

someone very 'attached' to their "mind" and living in "thought" would be soaking up "affirmations" from the ABC and strengthening their ego.

Living in "thought'  =  bigger ego.
Living in "action"  =  smaller ego.

Bolts viewers have come to the correct realisation that TV will not lead to a dope-asss supercharged life.
It would be a blessing if the viewers of the ABC propaganda would do likewise

i think thats a double negative, but certainly i would recommend you read the following rather then watch TV.

I"d say that if you were hosting a TV show, pitched at righties , but it was your AIM to attract righties who seek comfort and validation in an "echo chamber" of rightard "group think", then you dont understand the true position of a rightard.

A rightie neither wants nor seeks comfort and group think.

these are leftard concepts.

the true rightard does not need Mr Bolt or anyone else to validate him and ease his neurosis.
he is his own man and would turn the TV off
Thus the show becomes irrelevant and dies which is exactly what happened.

DNA prefers sources like Crikey and Facebook. That's as opposed to sources like Bolt, who, as an accredited journalist, is held accountable to a set standards by the ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) - unlike sources such as Crikey and Facebook, who are not and can post whatever crap they feel like.

How many people from Crikey or Facebook or any other social media sites have been to court and found guilty to what they said or wrote compare to Bolt going to court to what he has said or wrote.

I"d say that if you were hosting a TV show, pitched at righties , but it was your AIM to attract righties who seek comfort and validation in an "echo chamber" of rightard "group think", then you dont understand the true position of a rightard. A rightie neither wants nor seeks comfort and group think. these are leftard concepts. the true rightard does not need Mr Bolt or anyone else to validate him and ease his neurosis. he is his own man and would turn the TV off Thus the show becomes irrelevant and dies which is exactly what happened. ;) ;) The same would apply to posting on forums I would have thought! The real rightard would have no need to do it being his own man n all!

true , but also false.
The paradox of correct thought.
By challenging oneself by reading leftard group think, one can hone ones mind , or as steven covey puts it
"sharpen the saw"
I try not to be attached to any idea and certainly do not attach importance to 'my mind"

so this sort of stuff (the to and fro with lefties) , i just view as a opportunity to build "mental muscle".

You dont want to attach to "your mind"

Your mind can and will lead you to bad places.
You want to attach to core principles and then set up a battle between you and your mind and then win that battle.
This reduces your mind and so your ego.

lefties tend to be talkers and place great value on "thinking"....hence the leftard "intellectual"
But you cannot know most important things in thought.
Only in experience can such things be known.

He is right in that a strong aspect of left-wing philosophy is 'group-think' while an essential part of right-wing philosophy is individualism. They are two of the biggest differences and are both dangerous when taken to extremes.

Steven advocates moving from dependance to independance.
Not meaning to be rude but this means moving from

welfare to work
victimhood to strenght
wimp to assertiveness
left to right

here is something for you to contemplate
(my son is studying this at school...a private school ;))




Independence[edit]
The First Three Habits surround moving from dependence to independence (i.e., self-mastery):

1 - Be Proactive
Talks about the concept of Circle of Influence and Circle of Concern. Work from the centre of your influence and constantly work to expanding it. Don't sit and wait in a reactive mode, waiting for problems to happen(Circle of Concern) before taking action.
2 - Begin with the End in Mind
Envision what you want in the future so you can work and plan towards it.
3 - Put First Things First
Talks about difference between Leadership and Management. Leadership in the outside world begins with personal vision and personal leadership. Talks about what is important and what is urgent. Priority should be given in the following order:
1) Important and urgent
2) Important and Not-Urgent
3) Not Important and Urgent
4) Not important and Not urgent
Interdependence[edit]
The next three habits talk about Interdependence (e.g. working with others):

4 - Think Win-Win
Genuine feelings for mutually beneficial solutions or agreements in your relationships. Value and respect people by understanding a "win" for all is ultimately a better long-term resolution than if only one person in the situation had gotten his way.
5 - Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood
Use empathic listening to genuinely understand a person, which compels them to reciprocate the listening and take an open mind to being influenced by you. This creates an atmosphere of caring, and positive problem solving.
6 - Synergize
Combine the strengths of people through positive teamwork, so as to achieve goals that no one could have done alone

you should try for some self mastery Greg  ;)

A true rightard never complains John.

he approaches his fellow man with a sense of "contribution"

I have almost a missionary zeal to convert yourself , gweg and many others to the nobility of the rightard mindset.

Complaining is seeing something as a problem when in fact it is an opportunity

Reading books from fraudsters/con men, and letting them tell you how to live your life.

Pass.
