Mr Bolt said he regretted the way he discussed the case because he should have more carefully considered how Paris might interpret his words. “I should have thought of Paris Street, the boy, how he might have heard it," Mr Bolt said. “I’m really sorry to you Paris, I’m really sorry ... I should have thought about how you would take it. I regret it, I’ve spent every hour since thinking about it. I hate what happened”.
“You might have noticed that I was really angry yesterday about the way my comments on the ABC’s stories about St Kevin’s had been misreported, I even saw headlines today like ‘the offender defender’, when of course I hadn’t done that,” he said.
Do we care what bolt thinks !
Hate insincerity !
How much more embarrassment can this bell-end lob on to your brand before you cancel him.... Oh sorry I didn't realise this was , nevermind.
He is a repeat offender. Apology not accepted! IntegrityMatters propagandaisnotjournalism
Too little too late.
why hasn't he been fired? He is a disgrace.
Bolt should be fired. Sky news should be shutdown. I have more integrity in my little finger than your entire staff
Too little, too late. Get rid of Bolt.
Insincere at best. He shows no real remorse - just trying to close down the discussion. What a horrible little man - could be quite good as Herr Duttons PR advisor - would reminiscent of AH and JG of the 30’s
Trying to save your “star” performer. If you had any moral compass you would air his apology and then sack him instantly
Bolt shouldve been sacked.
Now resign
Hey peeps its better than nothing. People should be encouraged to own up when they make a mistake, yep he's backed the wrong horse on many occasions but maybe a wake up for Mr Bolt.
Some progress! 😊
Not good enough. He should be sacked.
So where’s Mr Henderson’s apology? Oh, he never gets anything wrong.
Too late Bolt.. Just like all your other controversial second rate journo's at Sky, wouldn't feed any of ya.. 😳😤😤😤
Andrew Bolt: I get angry, I can't control myself, I used the wrong words... i didn't think about the victim, I didn't think about the consequences... oh no, I'm doing it again now. Want to buy my book. And Sky supports him. auspol StKevins stopbullying
GO AWAY BOLT YOUR IRRELEVANT (and SKY) AND STUPID PASS IT ON AND RETWEET TO BOLT.
I would assume his list of apologies is very, very long. He should be fired for his ignorance & incompetence. But, Sky 'News' doesn't have ethics.
Too little too late... he can FO
Is Bolt drunk or is he South Afrikaans? Can’t quite get the accent. Anyway, he didn’t really like being forced to apologise did he? Couldn’t just sincerely say sorry. Had to dither about until he managed to say it at the end. Huzzah old chap! You spat it out!
Painting by Tony Sowersby auspol Andrew Bolt has evolved into an omelette. He's been scrambled and fried.
Bullshit.
You need to fire this POS
Dislike for this man's existence causes his every word to fall upon deaf ears. He really belongs in room with Pell. Keep all your rats in one cage.
Does he ever stop to think about how the victims of George Pell and the Catholic Church feel about when he rushes to defend them?
It’s sickening how in an apology he makes himself out to be the victim and hero.
Sky News and Bolt. Both a blight on decent responsible news in this country.
macsween_prue Sky News is trash
Well done Andrew. 👏 A bigger man than most in the media.
Too little too late
That was a complaint about ACB, NOT AN APOLOGY!
The lad deserved a genuine apology. I’m glad he got one.✅✅✅
So that’s it Sky? What type of organisation are you? Sadly I think I know!
Has he though?
There is no doubt in my mind he was forced to Like Alan Jones they love their fame and money more than their ideals Not that i agree with their ideals but if they stood by them it would at least be a shred of backbone
You're the ones hosting and paying a serial paedophile defender. What are you doing about it?
The true test of an apology is in the person's future words, actions, & behaviours auspol StKevins
He defended Pell and attacked those victims too. Where's their apology?
Not surprised
FacelessMan13 Except he hasn't really. If you talk about 'interpretation' of what you've said, you're putting this on how someone heard what you said, as opposed to the words you came out with. A good apology also talks about how you'll not repeat action in future. Didn't hear that. At all.
Should have been sacked for this comment. Putrid man.
Honestly, what have you become?
Vomit!
I'm sorry for the way you heard it (not for what I actually said)
You know what the only response should be
As if I believe this apology that comes after a backlash & ratings drop. The measure of the man is that he said it in the first place with no 'driven to it' excuse. He's a BS Artist Extraordinaire.
If we worried about everyone’s thoughts, we would go nuts . A humans thought & moods alter by the minute . But that’s the lie we are told from the cradle, that we are dependent on others for emotional crumbs . Wake up everyone !
What a sell - out , apologising for free speech & for how some words ‘may ‘ be taken by someone else’s noggin ? Ridiculous . Sounds to me you are also behind the death of free speech , though you appear not to be ! My opinion only .
Not sure what is wrong with the term ‘hitting !’on . Isn’t that what peds do ?
Why hasn't this man's contract been terminated.
I’ve been giving theboltreport a serve so I’ll acknowledge this is a step in the right direction. Hoping it’s not just a case of temporary sanity. StKevins AndrewBolt
Time for Sky to realise they are losing viewers because of this ignorant dinosaur and it’s time for him to go. boltmustgo
That’s not an apology, it’s simply a management damage control exercise
Bolt is completely insane.
Too little. Too late. A bridge too far as usual. He needs to be sacked.
Are these apologies real, or just a cost of doing business.
'I am sorry for publicly supporting paedophiles grooming school kids. I will remember to keep these opinions to those private moments I share with, errr... paedophiles '
I'm am sorry theboltreport you were called out about your comments and that it has hurt your feelings, I am certain that you will never have to be put through this kind of highly provocative criticism again. (insert sarcasm)
Get those vile creatures off the air. Boycott the Murdoch mafia and their advertisers!!
I should think so.
PatsKarvelas I can only imagine the tsunami of complaints, to get this stone-hearted pighead to actually apologise.
People often say sorry to get themselves out of trouble. I am deeply concerned that they were his own views.
It’s good when someone owns up to a mistake and apologises. This isn’t an apology though
macsween_prue F off Bolt. Dogwhistlers!
macsween_prue Keep going with the hate! That is what is causing so many issues in this world! Hate & pile ons! He apologised because he knew he got it wrong!
Only to save his job I suspect. Zero respect for this man.
Bolt's apologies are like going to the confessional Saysorry , get pardoned &do it all over again.Repeat,repeat
Big deal - a “non-apology” until next time he does it. Sky News is filth.
Why do all the pedo apologists work for Sky?
Andrew Bolt is a pedo. Spread the word
How about not saying it in the first place? You have a history of having to apologise for your opinion. Perhaps it’s time to stop giving it so freely?
Did he apologise, or read an apology?
Absolutely pathetic!!!
Delete your network.
Time to learn to watch your words, Andrew. Belittling victims of sexual abuse by trivialising their traumatising experiences is about as low as you can go. You’re basically supporting a paedophile.
edmundtadros Grabbing the clicks on the way and down. It is a self perpetuating machine. How about dropping Bolt or having him get pre approval for scripts. Nah. The clicks are too sweet.
Sack him. Or do you encourage paedophile defenders? Is it a general policy?
What an utter non-apology. This is Bolt trying to keep his job, not genuine remorse. Mere hours before this he complained in another Murdoch publication. Clearly 'sorry every hour since'. ThisIsNotJournalism BoycottMurdoch MurdochRoyalCommission
Oh a dollar for every ‘Andrew Bolt apologises for....’ story
good. the correct thing to do
Only because of the backlash from his claim of being misrepresented by ABC. Blots belligerence is easy to see.
Trying to keephis sponsors? Did anyone bother to watch the Four Corners episode. If any adult was making suggestions of that type to my 15 year old ggson my wrath would know no limit. Why on earth do you allow these apoligists for paedophilia to remain on your payroll. Shame
lynlinking Blot is sooo grubby
Just a reminder of what happened. theboltreport & GerardHenderson are stains on human decency. What are you going to do about it ?
PatsKarvelas Wow, I have to say that from a shock jock it was for once a genuine apology. Hopefully he might think about what he says in the future before he lets loose with divisive, discriminatory crap
And yet you still employ him.
How about Murdoch & Sky News apologise to Australia for inflicting this clown on us.
Whatever. The tap on the shoulder he received from management is clear. Just waiting for the next hideous comment to fall out of his mouth. He shouldn’t have a job.
Pathetic As usual
The good old cover your own arse Clayton’s apology.
What sought if apology was that? Disgusting Grub you are Bolt!
Not too long ago the name Henderson made you think of reliable TV news anchor and an underpaid actor in a gorilla suit, but Sky News Australia always innovating. Paris NutandBolt
'Dear Paris, you are absolutely right. I have no idea what it was like for you, nor do I have any in-depth knowledge on the topic. Hence, from now on I will refrain from making any further comments on paedophilia. Sincerely, Andrew Bolt' fixeditforyouAndrew yourewelcome
Innocent until proven guilty ... we need proof .. Paris is not convincing ..
It should never hv been aired... it’s about time Sky list it’s licence
Bolt is loosing the plot, apologise keep comming or is it attention seeking?
see, that didn't kill you did it
So, you’ll be sacking him, when? Otherwise it’s just a Clayton’s apology and no repercussion or consequences for his actions. Repeat offender. thisisnotjournalism
You know what, victims can never unhear what Bolt said. It rings in their ears like so many fkd up messages heard from ignorant pedophile supporters like him. He’s not sorry. He justified himself and will continue to do so enables by boycottSkyNewsAust
Good. However, for future reference, it might be easier to stop being an apologist for pedophiles. Just a thought. 🙄
Uummmm was that an apology ? I don’t think so. It was more about him than Paris.
His apology - if you can call it that - was much more about self pity over being 'misconstrued' (he wasn't). Now he needs to his apologise to the journalists at the ABC who produced the 4 Corners report and retract his accusation, along with Henderson, that the story was...
One apology doesn't change any of the hurt and pain Bolt is paid to inflict on vulnerable people. Paid by SkyNews. You're fully culpable for every nasty thing he says. You contribute NOTHING to the greater good. Nothing.
Bolts continued support of putrid rick spiders makes my skin crawl, as a conservative, he doesn't represent us, and he's lost my support 4eva. Pretending to worship imaginary entities does not give you a free pass, quite the contrary.
Bolt is scum
Abuse, apologise, forget. Rinse and repeat....
See you at the next apology. Perhaps you can get him a stamp card so the fifth one is free.
He should be sacked. It was uninformed and and judgemental. Gerard Henderson atrocious
How many times do you Losers go through this Attack and Apologise process. You have No credibility at all!
You call that an apology?
So he should... what a goose.
It may not have been his intention but for someone who makes a living out of stringing more than 2 words together he did it extremely poorly and in a manner that did lessen or trivialise what happened. He used a phrase that normalised the sexualisation of youngsters.
Fire him. His apologies are worthless. He is a repeat offender.
Perhaps THINK before you open your mouth more often...
Andrew Bolt is shameful and should not be allowed on air . Do Australia a favour and make him resign . We need decency and compassion to build a better Australia
lynlinking Bolt has Verbal Diarrhoea.If he understood compassion & thought b4 opening his Big Negative Mouth he wouldn't have to apoligise.
Now do the victims of George Pell. Now apologize to all the women he's accused of lying. He's so intent on blaming and condemning the victims and excusing the criminals, he's tripping over his own damned tongue. Words have power, Andrew! One day your words will bite you back!
Just not fucking good enough - like robbing a bank and then saying it was all a mistake, apologising hoping not to go to jail - these people do this far to often to deliberately distract people from their dangerous behaviour
Bolt’s job is to be a wordsmith. Was he threatened with dicipline? He brought your business into disrepute
This was a decent apology.
You should pull this creature off air. That apology was not genuine and Bolt is an out dated dinosaur and constantly makes horrendous and dangerous comments auspol
There's no apology like an 'I resign'
This is why I don’t watch Sky News & why I would never give the light of day to Bolt. It’s one thing to have conservative political views, and another to make absolutely appalling comments that show a complete disregard for a human being.
FIRE HIM! You know he'll do it again. Or does Sky News Aust support pedophiles too?
Well, at least he apologised, that's something more the fake dr thebettinaarndt has ever done, she has made a career out of defending offenders.
No he didn't.
I was one person shocked and disgusted by his comments and I don't classify myself as someone that he has previously criticized. I'm just a regular person who may never watch Sky channel ever again. Nothing less than a sacking of both of them will change that.
When someone shows you who they really are...
One way to tell if Bolt's apology to Paris is genuine is if he now takes that one step further and apologises to the victims and families of convicted pedophile Pell for all the things he's said before. Even this week Bolt was still declaring Pell is innocent. PedophileProtector
He should have been sacked. BoycottMurdoch
You really are a national disgrace . Is there anything you wont do or say for a quick buck? How about just setting a guillotine out the front and getting Bolt and Henderson to conduct baby beheadings for some public entertainment?
Apologised whilst playing the victim. Poor ME
You call that an apology. Too late scumbag. Sack him. Better still get rid of Sky once and for all. It's trash TV like the people on it
Really? Because mostly what I heard was him being upset at how he was “misrepresented”.
Disingenuous SackBolt
If he was half decent he would not have said those terrible things and not need to apologise looks like attempeted arse covering to me.
His appology is meaningless because the reason for him saying this hasn't changed.
Too little too late - again
The apology you offer when you’re not offering an apology The “if I offended him I apologise” apology if you had any credibility you’d sack him for what he said But then he’s got form and you’ve never disciplined him before It’s all about ratings for you isn’t it ?
Never that compelling or convincing when one is dragged to an apology; esp when having defended this type of behaviour previously.
By next week he will not remember the young mans name
The problem with this apology is that theboltreport has a history of supporting pedophiles after being found guilty in a court of law. Rings hollow.
Pretty pathetic effort for an apology!! Genuine?
Bolt only apologises, or rethinks his position eg on climate change, when there's strong public condemnation of his comments.
Lame & insincere.. go back into your tapes - he’s objectified & treated with contempt young women like Greta Thunberg victims of DV like Rosie Batty & anyone against pedos like Pell & grubby teachers of St Kevin’s
DumBolt
And nothing from Gerald Henderson? The things he said were just as thoughtless and demeaning - where’s his apology before Sky rolls him out for his next biased right wing and socially unacceptable opinion?
All the sincerity of a serial apologist for child abusers. stillnotsorry
That was an apology of an apology.
Not good enough, there is no place for him or Henderson in Australian discourse.
Bolt should be banned from the airwaves.
This idiot is either apologizing for his last abuse or abusing someone new. Never anything of consequence from this buffoon
Mr Bolt hopefully put himself in the shoes of the young victim and asked himself whether he would seriously enjoy a 94 year old ‘hitting’ upon him! stkevins
An apology only helps the person who made the mistake. Bolts words are out there now and will continue to hurt Paris and others who still fear to come forward from backlash like this.
Sack him and while you’re at it, hand in your broadcasting licence as you are not a fit and proper media company.
And what about that sour little gnome, Henderson?
RightsLGBTI So what action are you taking regarding Bolt in this matter. The apology did come after quite a bit of self justification. What is the remedy?
Bolt...You are just disgusting ....
The ongoing behaviour by these opinion makers, here and 2GB, have reached a point where it is hard to really be outraged any more. And what is worse, we know they will just apologise 2 days later. And then repeat it all again in a few months.
Hands up who misunderstood 'hit on'.
Sack Bolt...
I assume he was made to apologise. So not an apology at all.
Where's your apology Sky News. You spread RW hate, patriarchy. You push the LNP agenda. You are the problem Sky, you and every cheap right wing ounce of bull you peddle every day to the detriment of the Australian people and the Australian economy. Murdoch propaganda.
why is it that sky presenters are held to account for every word they say, and rightly so but the double standards is rife compared to what other networks get away with
lynlinking I'd be more inclined to believe him if he didn't have a track record of defending pedos, and if he didn't resort to trying to justify himself and lay the blame elsewhere.
He almost sounded sincere - scared about the impact it might have on him - nothing to do with the impact his disgusting commentary had on Paris Street.
Not enough. He also needs to cover the erroneous claims made by both himself and Henderson, as highlighted clearly by Paris Street. Sky should also make a commitment to educating the broadcaster they choose to provide shows to on these matters, I’m looking at you Paul Whittaker.
So what disciplinary action will you be taking?
If Sky News has NO credibility when it allows these news 'personalities' to do these stupid things consistently. Sack Bolt. He is a cancer who appeals to a small fringe.
There. Fixed it.
The fact that one of your alleged 'talent' even had to make this half-arsed 'apology' shows that your organisation has no journalistic ethics. theboltreport needs to be removed from the airwaves & newspaper columns now, because this crap will happen again!
What a prick
simonahac good on you for acknowledging
Why doesn’t sky apologise for enabling Bolt to make those comments in the first place, and remove him from their lineup?
Seriously you put people to air that defended convicted rock spiders. And pay them. Cancel them and cancel yourself. You are a stain on our society and have never done one thing to make it better.
All too common from Bolt, a forced, ingenuine apology after he makes statements that are clearly not in line with community standards.
Andrew Bolt is apologising to himself. He is not apologising to Paris Street or the many other children subjected to similar abuse and who are now even less likely to report it because people like Bolt, Henderson and their employers profit from malignment.
Didn’t sound too sorry
Not good enough. Sack him.
Nice plug for his book in there.
PatsKarvelas Resign now!
Bolt and Henderson are disgusting specimens. Sky is a platform for abuse. IN the bin
And he still can't help making it about himself.
How many times are you going to play this narrative fire the wanker already boycottskynews
He is apologise for tung a sycophant and whining that he's the victim.
Andrew, an apology is an acknowledgement of an offence or failure. Expressing regret that your words were “misreported” (they weren’t) is not an apology, it is an attempt to weasel your way out of an offence you committed. It is a faux apology. Try harder.
This is NOT an apology- as usual you are lying - this is NOT journalism- shameful
does he still want the abcnews Milliganreports to stop real journalism..is he really sorry.?
Disgraceful to in any way endorse staff even hitting on children to be acceptable defies any moral decency. He isn’t sorry, he’s sorry he got called out
Got his name ‘up in lights again’...job done; his craft/skill is using words..his attitude was established during the Pell trial
From one Man to another, if that is actually what You are, You make My stomach turn Bolt. You are part of the problem not the solution.
Doing a right wing ...oops i did it again...he is as sincere as AlanJones and his perversion of blame the victim for the crimes of the perverted. It's a joke
What? That was the most pathetic apology I have ever heard! Why did he bang on about himself for several minutes and claim HE was the victim before finally forcing out the word “sorry”?
Of course he has - or sponsorships might start to dry up. But they should just dry up - he peddles vile rubbish passing for social contribution.
Bolt is a disgusting man.
Man....Old......Silly.....
PatsKarvelas First he kills you and then he says he is sorry. He is not sorry.
Yes, you did play it down. An apology would mean something if you actually saw your error.
You really should rebrand to Sewer News Australia!! You have the lowest creatures posing as journalists! 🤢😡
this is normal behaviour for this poor excuse for a human being
Why has he not been sacked? He showed us exactly who he is. We believe him. Why don’t you care? ChildProtection rockspider
Long time coming and how inconsiderate do you have to be to not realise that how you speak about sexual offenders and their behaviour is likely to have an adverse on their victims?
PatsKarvelas He still justifies the offender ‘he wasn’t a teacher there, he was a volunteer’ as if that matters, like it’s not St Kevin’s issue. He genuinely regrets hurting Paris but the fact that that wasn’t foremost on his mind the 1st time says a lot. Idiot.
Oh, I thought it was the malicious ABC's fault. Shouldn't he apologise to them too?
That this exchange took place to begin with is appalling. Bolt needs to think about how is words impact before opening his month. Sky after dark is a joke
This is not an apology. Full of weasel words by an apalling narcissist. Where is Henderson's apology?
This is a regular occurrence, say what I want and then put on a false facade spewing out a sham of an apology. Nothing but a fraud. Where is the other depraved stain on humanity Henderson.
The only acceptable apology this prick can offer is to resign and never be seen or heard of again.
PatsKarvelas Not enough What is Sky News senior management doing about the hate this man spreads? What moral courage and stand will you take? Remember, “the standard you walk past, is the standard you accept.”
Sounds like an apology written by someone else and read under threat of dismissal. And where is 'apology' from Gerard Henderson?
That’s the most half arsed apology I’ve ever heard. He spent most of the time talking about how he felt before even getting to the victim.
Talk about a bad hill to die on.
PatsKarvelas Sipping on a nice Hennessy , it’s fukin gold ...
Wonder if he'll apologise to all the victims of his pedophile apologism. Or maybe just stop doing it altogether.
He knew very well what he was saying. No amount of grovelling can take away what he said. He’ll have to live with the shame of those premeditated comments.
It’s not enough. Sack him
I look forward to his next egregious abuse of a victim of a paedophile and your continuing enablement of his ongoing, deliberate and disgusting behaviour. What an awful business model.
That was an apology ? What a joke SkyNews is.
What kind of an apology is that? What you’d expect from a guy who has mates who hang around in London public toilet blocks hoping to get lucky with a junior.
PatsKarvelas That’s not an apology. You’re right, you should have thought of Paris. Nice book promo too. Disingenuous turd
PatsKarvelas He should be sacked
Acknowledgment that he said sorry. But that's where it ends. You don't try to justify your position then apologise...comes across a bit insincere.
PatsKarvelas Why?
and what about his defence of Pell? How about an apology for his victims?
Here’s a story for Andrew Bolt to cover Paedophile denying and climate change denying mentality - is there a link?
How many strikes does this man get before he’s out?
Recividism is in Bolt's DNA. I wonder at what point does NewsCorp decide he's no longer worth the trouble.
He read a lawyer’s letter. That’s probably a hint to where his motivation is coming from. I hope those StKevins ex students sur Bolt’s arse off. (so to speak). auspol
BS apology
In a civilised society it is unfathomable that he is not sacked.
Too little to late. Your “phrasing” is an ongoing issue.
That’s not an apology, he basically blames everyone else for having to apologise. Get this vile man off TV now.
He should be sacked. This is worse than Alan Jones comments about women
Plus Kehoe was employed at the school!
And he will be back being his hateful nasty little self tomorrow.
I used to think highly of your opinions. You are clearly, in my opinion, lacking clarity on the subject of pedophilia. Your judgement similar to that of the principal and Dean of sport at St.Kevins. In short, poor.
Bolt sounds like he went to the Alan Jones school of apology.
Too little too late? Andrew Bolt should take early permanent retirement.
Sack him,S.A,D just lowering the bar as a news outlet.
If Bolt didn't realise the stupidity and cruelty of his words yesterday, his apology is worthless today. This wasn't an off the cuff casual remark, it was a scripted and planned attack that cast a slur on the victim of a serious crime. Newscorp should sack him.
This guy has form when it comes to making horrendous statements & then apologising when there’s a massive backlash. I call BS on his apology because he knew what he was saying & always sits on the sides of the paedophile. bullshitapology
He doesn’t have a heart.. he has a script writer, an editor, and a handler from management that have all choreographed Bolt’s behaviour on screen. Confected empathy.
Henderson wont apologise He’s not intellectually up to doing that
Blot is an apology for a human
Andrew Bolt should be sacked, his comments along with Gerard Hendersons were unforgivable.
Cower before the almighty ABC, peasant!
That's not an apology, as usual Dolt can't actually take responsibility for his actions. He new full well the meaning of his words and used them deliberately to downplay the seriousness of the issue in order to defend the Catholic system again. sackbolt
It's too late. Your organisation is sick and twisted.
Hollow words. That's why he wrote the book still not sorry. Horrible Human Being
FatherBob sack him, he is clearly not right in the head. not sacking him tells me you agree with him being able to say anything regardless of who he hurts sorry doesn't cut it the damage is done
He needs to go There is a pattern of consistently and continuously defending CONVICTED Pedophiles Pell I can’t even think about why he does but it’s a very bad look for Sky Sack him
Andrew Bolt makes money out of words - and now he says oops-sorry? His “hit on” take reflected both previously expressed attitudes to victims of abuse by members of the establishment AND his willingness to use the vulnerable in his culture war. “Sorry” is only to save his job.
'A meaningful apology is one that communicates three R's: regret, responsibility, & remedy.' - Beverly Engel Bolt expressed regret, took little responsibility, & offered no remedy. It was a 1 min 45 sec self-justification with a 22 sec sorry tacked on the end. StKevins
Pt2.. 1 finally mentions the victim in a sympathizing manner. Time to give up the gig Bolt, paedophile supporters have no place in the media. Pell was convicted so he is a pedo whether you want to accept it or not!
3 broadcasts I've seen in 3 days. 1 Bolt supports and defends paedophiles imo. 1 defends himself for & attacks ABC for pointing it out. (Cont..)
Well...I will no longer support this news company whilst Andrew Bolt is employed. Shame on you!! Time to take action, Stand down Bolt. Courage to Paris for standing up to bullying
FatherBob Apology? You are joking. “I didn’t say what I meant to say”!
More comments than likes. Im not even going to read the comments. The anger is obvious.
Chris_dengate Days since Bolt has been a cheap gutter clickhole - 0
Bravo Andrew
FatherBob nah....he didn't
Why doesn’t discipline it’s commentators when they trivialise the experience of victims of child sex abuse? Sorry doesn’t cut for Andrew Bolt who is likely to be out barracking for that evil George Pell aa soon as his appeal is due.
But he should never said them in the first place. This is what happens when you have people with little self control and lots of ego who think they are perfect. They are not!
This is not enough! Mr Bolt you must know your privelege and influence. Wisdom is severely lacking and I am appalled.
No your first words are what you thought. Lets stick with “offender defender”. Your always apologizing for what you have said. Your sounding like Allan Jones
Instead of your presenters giving apologies every few weeks, how about you sack them or at least tell them to stop being dickheads. Soon you’ll need a half hour slot every week just for apologies. 😡🤬
The ‘ol say what I want to say, apologise ‘if anyone was offended’ method. Big corporations do it all the time. May as well copy the biggest pricks of all, they seem to get away with it all the time
I have no journalism experience, but know if I was talking about the GROOMING of children, I wouldn’t use the term “hit on”. Bolt is a professional journo and couldn’t find the right words at the time? Bolt, Gerard are ENABLERS. Paul Whittaker as CEO of Sky News is COMPLICIT.
What a grub
He couldn’t get a straight sentence out. Slimy has been. Come on people pay for your coverage step up and provide a decent service
Sponsor money talks, & Andrew Bolshit walks..
I suppose that’s something, but has he never considered thinking hard before he spouts such trash?
His apology is so ScottyfromMarketing.. 'misinterpreted'
This is NOT an apology... stumbling, bumbling words of what was said about himself.. clearly more worried about his own feelings and situation.
Reset the countdown! Let’s see how long it takes til he has to issue another non apology.
Qldaah Where’s Gerard’s apology? He was complicit in the chat...
And yet... even an 'apology' is all about Andrew, again, as usual. At what point will Sky find themselves some actual journalists and real experts to inform their audience, rather than inwardly-concerned, mean spirited talking heads whose only purpose is to disparage others?
After he lied and said he was taken out of context or some other obvious bullshit excuse. Did he apologize on his fucking dumpster fire 'show' like the grandstanding coward he is or go and do it in person? I bet i know which one.
He’s not sorry, he just doesn’t want to lose his job. How gullible do you think people are?
So... he gets TWICE the attention and TWICE the clicks. SKY loves him for this and that is why he is paid the big dollars
This is not even close to an apology - it’s nothing more than a self serving diatribe 🤢
Paris Street should consider the merit of telling his story to an individual who has repeatedly abused her 'job' : defaming former colleagues, taken part in a sex crimes police conspiracy against an innocent old man and used her influence with police having a man falsely charged.
An apology with conditions and caveats is not an apology.
Who amongst us hasn't accidentally defended a child abuser? Twice.
Apologised huh. Would that have happened with out the backlash, no. Is it genuine, no. Just disgusting
Bolt is such a knobhead.
Your organisation is an enabler for those who minimise and excuse abuse. Your response is utterly contemptible
i wonder if Henderson will also issue an apology?
And so he should
Qldaah You cannot apologize for being an insensitive moron who supports child abusers. There are not words enough for an apology to excuse that.
You won’t find me watching Sky News Australia as long as Andrew Bolt is employed by you.
Qldaah Still unclear what comments of his were actually “misreported”.
How about not be a horrible human being and undermine the horrendous abuse experienced by Paris Street when he was 15 years old.
This is not an apology. A real apology has 3 parts: 1. Say sorry about what you did (not about how other people saw it or felt). 2. Commit to never do the behaviour again. 3. Ask the affected party what you can do to repair the damage caused. Anything else is not an apology.
Bolt and Henderson are both grubs that deserve to be kicked out of the media, but hey they’re on Sky so barely anyone ever notices
Andrew Bolt's apology: 'This has been a hell of a week for me.' 'The misrepresentation (of my comments) was awful, ghastly.' 'People who I have criticized in the media took the opportunity' to say I am soft on grooming. A profoundly qualified and self serving 'apology'.
pathetic. Still spent three times as long talking about himself and how unfair the world is than he did acknowledging what was wrong. Sloppy, unprofessional but not surprising
you are a disgraceful news channel that only brings shame to this country. Australia can do so much better than Sky News. Stop employing convicted racists and clean up your act.
How many pedophiles do you have to defend to lose a job at Sky News?
Was a self indulgent ramble. I kept waiting for the apology which eventually was woven in between the ifs and buts.
Andrew Bolt endorses Paedophilia.
He should be sacked...
nadiasdaly Now do George Pell’s victims
I felt that his apology was genuine, but regardless, wouldn’t have been necessary had he thought it through
Well he should apologise but how about you just stop giving this guy a platform to feed his huge ego. He thinks he knows it all with no supporting evidence and people with mush for brains adopt his views as their own
Well I read Paris Streets letter .Andrew I'm glad you apologised to this young man .No doubt you have a clearer picture of his trauma . He should never have had to justify himself to you . He has been through enough . You don't need to be such a jerk.This young man is remarkable.
He did not apologise, he defended his comments by patronizing anyone that may have misinterpreted it.
Why is Andrew Bolt the Head Cheerleader of Melbourne paedophiles? andrewbolt cheerleader Melbourne Paedophiles
Isn’t it unusual that the only same-sex attracted men that Andrew Bolt publicly supports are convicted sexual offenders?
This is the problem with the alt right, they just don't get the stupidity of their ideology.
Apologised to avoid legal action - that should still be taken by the victim
Sky News is the network of paedophile apologists. No-one with a shred of dignity would work for this organisation.

As a media organisation you should apologise for your employee who made horrendous statements virtually condoning the actions of a child sexual predator. Seriously just sack Bolt. He's a nut job and liability and that's saying a lot for SkyNewsAustralia
If you have a dictionary, you really should look up the meaning of ‘apologised’
This is the ClaytonsApology the one you ha e when you’re not really apologising NotGoodEnough
If he’s truly sorry resign!
How many more apologies has he got. He seems to like defending grubs who prey on children
You low life
As he should!
Andrew Bolt fucks kids
So it is an 'apology' for others 'misreporting' his words and Paris's fault for misinterpreting his words. Always someone else's fault to limit/dismiss his fault.
Only because someone in senior management gave him a jolly good carpetting and told him to.
Good!
The best apology is changed behaviour. How many apologies has Bolt given in his time? And learnt nothing from them.
He’s still a cockwomble.
That was so far from a real apology ... it was almost as insulting as the initial statement
When is an apology not an apology..when it's from bolt. 😠
It was only a little case of victim blaming, nothing to see here 🙄.... exactly the type of toxic non journalism that is all to common at sky.
Too little too late. That man will never think of anyone other than himself. He’s a total cretin
Sounded like a real heartfelt apology to me with regret for what he had said.
You don’t go on another rant about how you were misrepresented (you were not it was a horribly casual and offensive segment) then apologise - that’s not how an apology works - for reference you apologise and then nothing no but no what no ifs nothing
Won't save you in the end
For someone whose profession is based on words Mr Bolt should have much more awareness of the power of words. His comments, and those of Gerard Henderson, on Tuesday were disgraceful. Yes, he has apologised, but he should never have said what he did.
Actually apologized, or “if I offended him” apologized?
Good on him. If most of you had a job where every word was analysed by haters to build a case for your sacking you’d shit yourselves. He’s not perfect and has never claimed to be. Move on luvvies, I’m sure someone else has mis-spoken whilst I type this.
