#003 Just doing it | David Bullard

He's been Out To Lunch for Years!

David Bullard (Columnist | Author | TV Presenter | Celebrity Public Speaker)

Known for his controversial satire, David Bullard, SA's voice of calm in a time of faux outrage, takes no prisoners when he takes people out to lunch.

With his penchant for creating a furore at every opportunity, mainly through his widely read column, "Out to Lunch", Bullard has taken on new media and Woke wannabe "Rock Stars" with gusto on Twitter, even causing a storm in the South African blogosphere by describing blogging as the 'air guitars of journalism... cobbled together by people who wouldn't stand a hope in hell of getting a job in journalism.'

We catch up with the Prof of Applied Histrionics at UTS (and Columnist for PoliticsWeb) to see who he's been plying with wine - and if he is actually all fluffy inside.
