In fact, I don’t think there is enough space allocated to this weekly column to even get to all of the mind-numbing rants and vindictive bullying they have indulged in over the past fortnight or so.

First, our old mate Andrew Bolt, who was prosecuted under section 18c of the Racial Discrimination Act for denouncing light-skinned people whom, he said, falsely claimed to be aboriginal so as to take advantage of benefits he said that brought.

The very same bloke who also told us that the stolen generations chapter of Australian history never happened.

Now, for some reason, our Attorney-General George Brandis decided one of his first acts in office should be to repeal section 18c because it went against the basic principles of free speech.

But then on the ABC television show Q&A, Brandis, after stoutly defending the decision to repeal section 18c — which provides some legal relief for those who do not have the resources to take on powerful figures in defamation proceedings — then attacked the ABC for showing part of a skit on The Chaser which showed a News Corp journalist in an apparent act of bestiality.

Now, at best the skit was tasteless and at worst disgusting — the latter being my view.

But using the logic that Brandis relies on to justify repealing section 18c — that is, something should not be proscribed just because it offends — the piece on The Chaser was not a big deal.

It was a skit and not even serious commentary.

It was amazing to find that after the Q&A show mentioned above, Bolt said he felt bruised and almost unable to go to work after the nasty things that were said about him on the show.

Are you kidding, after all the vindictive things he has said about other people, including Fairfax journalists?

And all this from a bloke who works for an organisation whose British arm was humiliated by the disgusting and degrading practices the News of the World was associated with, which led to it becoming extinct; a fate suffered by the dinosaurs, an appropriate analogy for the publication.

In 1975 News Ltd journalists went on strike in support of democracy after stories they submitted were either rewritten or sent back for revision because their articles “were not anti-Whitlam enough”.

The latest attack seems to focus around the repugnant signs some protesters displayed during the recent March in March demonstrations around Australia.

And repugnant they certainly were, in my opinion.

Especially the ones attacking Tony Abbott and the language employed.

But where was the rage from the right-wing extremists when Liberal politicians stood underneath or adjacent to signs calling Prime Minister Julia Gillard a witch or a bitch or damning the dropkick at one of these rallies who called Gillard a scrag?

And where was the widespread condemnation of Alan Jones when he said she should be put in a hessian sack, taken out to sea and dropped overboard or when he said her father died of shame over her.

And don’t give me that garbage that he apologised.

The apology was worse than the original statement.

Be aware all journalists who continue to attack the ABC, especially those of you who do so with the aim of giving a monopoly to the top end of town and total control of the media — enabling them to provide a modern version of Tokyo Rose.

Because like all bullies you may well end up with a blood nose.

Figuratively speaking of course.
