Still, Bolts just getting his feet wet, this and has time on his side at least.


You didn't follow the court case.
And now the Bolt outcome is being applied to other journalists (Alan Jones), with the ridiculous endorsement from Gillard & Brown.

Yes I did follow the court case, re- bolt's racial discrimination case, this and I defended him to the hilt, still do.
This is why I had hoped Bolt continued his stance, though he's backed off.

See, Hinch wouldn't back down whereas Bolt had his "Bolt Report" to consider, so probably thought better of it and decided to cut his losses.

But Hinch didn't just stop there....he was relentless, and it's this burning passion that either makes or breaks them in this industry, sets them apart, perhaps Bolt likes to play it safe.

But that's Bolts choice.
He shouldn't condemn others for theirs, particularly when in principle, they are both fighting the same cause.

In a nut shell, I admire Bolt and Hinch for different reasons.

Both have their strengths and weaknesses, don't we all.

I think they are similar in many ways.

I like Bolt but loathe Hinch. Probably the beard. I met a lot of these people way back. They didn't impress me then (at the Journos Club in Sydney) and they still don't. A bunch of boozing, loud-mouthed ignoramuses. I remember shopping in Gordon, (North Shore - Sydney) and met Jacki Weaver who was his wife at the time. She is tiny, just 5 ft I imagine as I towered over her and she had lots and lots of wrinkles I recall ......

Difference being, Bolt allows you to argue against his opinion whilst Hinch doesn't tolerate anyone having an alternative view to his when he has rammed it down your throat! :tease

True, good point, but this said, Hinch has accomplished things that Bolt hasn't had the balls to follow through.
Bolt often stops just short of going too far...and or making a lasting impression where it matters most.

I think in part this might have to do with him toying with the possibility of a future in politics--- (Just a hunch) ;)
This said, Bolt needs to maintain a tidy appearance. Not be seen to be too extreme if he's planning a future in conservative politics.

Perhaps when Hinch was diagnosed with liver cancer he thought, what the heck, it's now or never and this is what spurred him on to go the extra mile, coupled with him not having kids to worry about death threats etc, you tend to tread more carefully/conservatively when there's more than yourself to think about.

Either way, I like Hinch and Bolt for different reasons, both have their good and bad points.

It's Xmas, lets love them both.

Not even Hannibal would waste a nice bottle of cianti and fava beans on Hinch! :tease :tease

Theres been a menu update, he received a liver transplant recently, so Hannibal might just have him over for dinner yet.

Don't think so lady, as not even hannibal would eat regurgitated organs :tease

Maybe, just maybe Hannibal would do what he did to Ray Liotta & serve up Hinch his own brains, but when he popped his scone all he found was a vacuum :tweed
:rofl :rofl

:WTF If only Hinch had have known about that as that would have satisfied all his, ..ahum..."urges" :thumb
