ABC gives Bolt a better chair

The ABC's token conservative (that's right, your impartial ABC has a "token" conservative) on the Insiders program, Andrew Bolt, had long been symbolically ostracised by being given a chair on the far right of the screen separated from the "normal" commentariat as if to warn ABC viewers in advance that Bolt's opinions differed from ABC-approved opinions.

The ABC has now decided to give Andrew Bolt a more mainstream chair.

The heads of the ABC must have accidentally fell from their ivory tower and landed on some common people who have dared to question what exactly they are funding. Make no mistake, the ABC is copping heat for their rampant bias (which is getting worse) which is an abuse of taxpayer funds.

This is about the extent that the ABC is willing to compromise. Oh yeah, and this pathetic patch-up attempt from Red Kerry a day after one of THE WORST hatchet jobs the 7:30 report has done:

Revelations of at least one significant error in the most recent report of the IPCC, the United Nation’s International Panel on Climate Change - the exaggerated claim that the Himalayan glaciers will melt in the next 25 years has caused great embarrassment. The IPCC and its thousands of voluntary scientists are now on the defensive, and climate change sceptics have stepped up their assault on its credibility.
