Alan Jones Retires

[Brad Goodman]

So SKY NEWS want to make room for Piers Morgan? What Australian can relate to him? SKY are woke and a cancel culture that will be canceled by the people more than they realise. Murray and Bolt in particular must now know their jobs are in jeopardy. People are not happy about the truth, the LEFt have won, it was always inevitable. Mainstream media is a joke and the loser of course, are the viewers.

Oh well.

 

[JackFlash]

Oh well.

Yes it is, I don't particular care as i find all news outlets a complete disaster. It's a real shame SKY have capitulated though, but yeah, Oh well!

This is an interesting take.

A "canker on Australian democracy"

Alan Jones and his outrage inevitably go the way of his ratings | Denis Muller for the Conversation

Whatever his talents, however impressive his record, the self-styled voice for ‘Struggle Street’ has been a canker on Australian democracy

www.theguardian.com

FMD no-one seems to like the man.

When people defend him it's either out of terror of his notorious weaponised spitefulness, or because he is serving their political or commercial purpose.

He has no heirs (obviously) to defend his name when he's gone. When he finally does a toes-up there'll be nothing holding anyone back. His name will be s**t, pure and unadulterated.

So you are loving the lies and deceit of the LEFT? No, the truth always hurts and the LEFT simply can't take it! SKY NEWS have simply bent over and i expect many others will fall victim before to long. Australia really is a nation of "Sheep", as its people fall at the feet of their masters in charge!

Fall victim to what? And Alan Jones is also a victim? And who are the masters in charge? The government, or someone else? I'm genuinely intrigued.

Admit you're far right without actually saying it

 

[CD Xbow]

I'm glad to say farewell to the nasty, bitter Queen of the North. He was a hypocritical pox on humanity.

You do realise that Sky avoid the fairness and honesty provisions in the broadcasting codes of conduct by declaring they broadcast 'opinion' and not 'news', right?

It's from the mouth of an ACMA employee who has run investigations into their conduct.

On subscription television, Sky News, a 24-hour news channel, has since 2013 increasingly featured discrete news analysis and commentary programs in addition to rolling news bulletins.

Shifts in radio news programming over recent years do not appear to be as pronounced, with news content continuing to be delivered primarily through brief bulletins at the top of each hour. Depending on the format of the station, these stories are then sometimes discussed in depth through extended interviews or talkback programs.

They classify everything after their brief hourly update as 'opinion' to avoid the stricter code provisions that apply to 'news'.

Unfortunately, their core audience don't understand the difference (see Jack's meltdown earlier) - not that the code is applied particularly stringently anyway.

Cosy relationships and a front organisation: how Sky News operates as a law unto itself

When the body in charge of regulating pay TV is stacked with Foxtel's own executives, why are we surprised when Sky News' baseless conspiracy theories go unchallenged?

Ok, so you don't understand it.

That's cool, I doubt there is anything that could convince you anyway.

Yes, what hope has little Sky News against the awesome might of all those 70 year-old Uniting Church feminists with sensible hair?

If the evidence was good there would be no need for convincing

You've gotten your right whack.

But what's with the random capitalised words?

I've got my fingers crossed that it's a conspiratorial acronym and CAN NOT WAIT to find out what it means. I'm also intrigued by the quotation marks around "Sheep" - does he mean something other than sheep?
