He blogs and comments on a more than superficial level, but less than a detailed level. This means that it is not detailed enough to be informative but is enough for people to touch on the subject and be engaged enough for Bolt to make an exciting opinion that hits hard (just like some commercial current affairs programs). I think it was that bunch of weirdos, The Chaser who bought the excellent term news-tainment into more popular use. I think Bolt is on the news-tainment level.Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962789743908134314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-76897296899845205702012-04-25T09:54:11.655+10:002012-04-25T09:54:11.655+10:00Good morning, kvd.
