Andrew Bolt: Online activism has been reduced to ‘shouting people down’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Andrew Bolt says anonymous far-left activist group Sleeping Giants refuses to engage in debate, resorting to ‘shouting people down’ and ‘trying to silence them’.\n\nResearch conducted by Sky News in February on the most active participants in the advertiser boycott campaign found that a single user was responsible for 43 per cent of the activity, and eight out of the ten most engaged accounts were anonymous. \n\nSome brands have succumbed to the online campaign by withdrawing their advertising from Mr Bolt’s program, including private health fund NIB. Mr Bolt shared correspondence from a viewer who explained that those supporting free speech ‘can be an activist too’, and closed their NIB account in response to the company's decision.\n\nMr Bolt shares his ongoing experience with the group and its attempts to silence him and other free speech supporters by targeting advertisers.\n\n\n\n If thats what rupert wants... Always the tolerant ones. 'far-left' 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🙃
