Psychologically speaking, what motivates prominent ABC faces to gay-bait conservative figures?

I have a (gay) ABC friend who described Alan Jones as "giving gays a bad name for 71 years". Your analysis is more about what you perceive to be an ABC inspired attack on gays. The reality is that many gays and lesbians are as appalled by Jones' personal vindictiveness against women as the rest of the community - apart from Liberal voters.

The ABC is a tragic waste of taxpayers money. We all pay for those appalling, ignorant bigots.

And I disagree that it's Labor-first. It's Greens/leftie first, Labor roughly second (unless there's another leftie group first).

The article appears to be looking for an angle to bash the ABC, a worthy activity, but this attempt (for me) doesn't work. If Alan Jones is indeed gay, then his avoidance does a disservice to the gay and hetro community. The baiting is not about being gay but being a hypocrite. I can, though, understand any reluctance, especially when one has a 1950s mindset and a previous proximity to Rugby League changing rooms.

self righteousness and hatred are the motivators for many of the national broadcasters spewing bile at Abbott and prior to that Howard. I suspect its the same motivation when hating Jones. Usually it is because they point out the obvious which the left hate.

Yes, it appears more and more like Alan Jones' regrettable comment gave the virulent Left a perfect opportunity to try to shut him down. I don't listen to him - I'm in Qld - but I'm glad there is some broadcaster to balance the blatantly Left Wing comments by the ABC.

It seems to me that Jones cops more than his fair share of abuse from the Left - most worse than his comments about the PM's father. The hypocrisy of the Left is there for all to see - as long as you don't listen to the ABC!
