Well, interesting analysis of the debate, I guess. Not biased at all (ahem). Here's part of what I had to say about the debate, which I also attended. Here's a link to what I said about the debate (http://thespinzine.squarespace.com/journal/2006/9/4/bolt-vs-manne.html).

Sadly, Mr Morton, right-think has no memory and no shame, as Leigh and others have already shown.
Bolt-ians (from Howard down) will keep parroting their preferred view (3 months – ‘hotly contested debate’; 6 months – ‘another humiliating rout for the Left’) and history will be revised again.
Thus they sow salt for all our children, curse them

I hear willusa , i agree with what you have to say about Bolt .
Others CAN make history, just like that bloke in Tianamin Square.
I have just traveled by road from Victoria to Sydney and i saw virtually no "signs" of political dissent .Are we serious ??
If we want to change things we need to get active in the outside world .We don't want another 3 years of howard - bolt - windschuttle , do we ??

I don't agree with everything that Bolt says but 9 times out of 10 it will be more sensible than anything that "legend in his own mind", LW PC Robert Manne will say.

It'll more often than not, also be based in facts and not emotive claptrap.
That's the problem with regressives... oops... so-called progressives.

Well done,"ybgirp",but Andrew Bolt and his true believers, by that meaning those who fall, for his arguments against truth just will not and can not get it into their thick skulls,that it is correct,stolen it was,or taken away against their will,but ignorant people,would remain so,as they do not understand ignorance,with Andrew Bolt,stolen, and ignorance,is not their way or habit of thinking,if it is black,with them it is white, it is overwritten with the following Das ist verboten
