Скачать или смотреть Andrew Bolt sensationally hits back at Ray Hadley following Pell acquittal

Sky News host Andrew Bolt has sensationally hit out at Ray Hadley, calling the radio broadcaster a "coward" for not airing his "right of reply" following the acquittal of Cardinal Pell on historic sexual abuse charges.

Mr Bolt said the 2GB host should apologise for his abuse of the "few of us" who "dared" to say George Pell was innocent.

Earlier this year Mr Hadley had claimed Andrew Bolt was "soft on pedophiles," something which Bolt vehemently denied.

"I'm not soft on pedophiles, what I'm very strong on is defence of innocent people," Mr Bolt said.

"In this case I was right Ray Hadley, and you were wrong, very wrong".

Mr Bolt said he had called Ray Hadley's radio show on Wednesday to discuss the High Court's verdict, which unanimously found Cardinal Pell was innocent, and to ask for an apology.

"He refused, it didn't air ... coward".
