The ABC conspiring to expose and exploit a media person on the basis of sexual preference? Hhmmm.
Leftist literati leap to ABC's defence for same? Hhhmmmm.
Could this be a cliche calling the kettle black?
Or is this what hypocrisy really smells like?

Arjay,

Are we talking about the same unbiased Alan Jones who stood as a candidate for the Liberal party some years ago?

The same Alan Jones who has the best opinions that money can buy?

The same principled Alan Jones whose blatant plagiarism earned him the nickname of "the Parrot"?

I think Alan's political bias is well established and firmly on the public record.

Yes, taxpayers do pay for the ABC but as consumers, we ALL pay for the so-called "free-to-air" media and they seem to go about their business without the same degree of scrutiny the ABC is subjected to.

Perseus,
I don't see any sex-based conspiracy in this book being written. If Mr Jones has a problem with some of it (before even seeing what's been written) he still has recourse through the legal system.

I'm sure that there will be people from both sides of politics who may have cause for concern.

Smells more like right-wing paranoia than left-wing conspiracy to me.

FrankGol,

At last! We agree on something: you "must be real dumb". Although, to use correct English, you should have said that you "must be REALLY dumb".

There will be no law suits flying around regarding the truth or accuracy of this book.
Chris Masters is a good investigative Journalist,it will be a great read.
I will be buying a hardback copy upon its release.
What were the ABC Board thinking when they canned it.
I wonder if Kroger is in there as a special friend.

Leigh, you’ve got me there; and I confirm that I agree with you. How REALLY dumb of me - I expected a REAL debate and all I got was a cheap insult and a grammar lesson. Your contributions are too profound for me.

FrankGol, dont worry about Leigh. Check out his previous postings. He believes in Democracy and the rule of law, but thinks detention without trial is ok too.
His grammar might be good, but he is a confused fellow looking for an arguement.
Unwin and Unwin bless you for publishing this book, you will make a motza.
Is motza a word Leigh?
