Fair cop on media ruling, Mr Jones : Comments

By Irfan Yusuf, published 20/4/2007

Surely shock jocks, of all people, wouldn't want to see anyone get away with breaking the law?

(Cont…)

one geographically close opponent is John Laws, whose outrageous larrikinism extends back to his days in Far North Queensland as a 4KZ presenter…I would suggest his ‘behaviour’ can far outstrip Jones when it comes to discourtesy or offensive comments directed at his listeners or others in his line of fire.

You’re stretching the lines of credibility when you suggest that Alan Jones is responsible for any degree of incitement in the community…save inciting them to think for themselves, consider the less-fortunate, knit blankets for local hospitals, hang Christmas decorations, etc…I can think of few who are more courteous to talk-back participants…including those he disagrees with…however, be sure to have your facts straight or you’ll be summarily corrected…seems reasonable to me, though I can see where Irfan and his co-horts would have difficulties judging by the inaccuracies in posts to date.

Aqvarivs, how good to hear the ring of truth echo in the halls of OLO…refreshing, truly refreshing!

CJM, alias Nancy, has decreed a new set of rules has he? Perhaps he should tell someone who’s remotely interested. In your leftist elements of the media Nancy, derision and mockery is used to cover the lack of substance in content…in wider media, my experience is there are many who find degrading namecalling unnecessary and immature.

“Crikey” regularly print such c@#*p and that isn’t a recommendation for journalistic standard…you clearly ARE a disciple…parrot-fashion!

I would’ve thought prevarication was your middle name, except for your initials…obviously you’ve had a name change by deed of poll.

As for the law…you’ve just acknowledged that ‘equal justice without-fear-or-favour’ is a distant memory in your clouded mind…aqvarivs has just reiterated the concerns with precedence and the law on this issue.

Try lobbying to introduce capital punishment for those who refuse to lean to the left…mufti and you’ll share another ‘bent’ on the capital punishment bit for those who won’t fall into line…

Shanno…articulate means he’s-able-to-present-ideas-clearly-to-his-audience…your post indicates how long you’ve pursued AJ with your vendetta, unsuccessfully…I’ve quoted George Orwell’s fiction to illustrate a point, perhaps that’s what he did…I haven’t all the facts, so can’t judge…

Clearly, there is little point in trying to get Meg1 to engage in rational debate, at least when it comes to the hateful Jones. Her invective has become as shrill as it is obtuse, so I think I'll stop wasting energy in trying to engage with her pathetic efforts at argument.

Meg1 should probably content herself with listening to her deeply flawed idol's approaching departure from the airwaves while she still can. Meanwhile, most of us will cheer his impending demise from afar. My prediction is that Gloria will be sacked very shortly after Howard loses the next election, if he hasn't racked up any more convictions first.

Actually, CJ, I believe that Meg1 is a nom de plume of the man himself.

Have a look back over "her" posts.

Has a lot of the man's hysterical bluster about it, don't you think?

The other giveaway is the cheating on word count, using the old stick-in-a-row-of-hyphens trick. Who else do you know would stoop so low, just to defend a superannuated old publicity tart like Jones?

The more I look, the more I'm convinced.

C'mon Meg1, do the honourable thing.

Come out of that cyberspace cupboard and show us the true "you".

Well CJM & Pericles...no surer sign of a lost argument than the tripe you pair are serving up.

ROFL... (:))

Sorry Pericles...I haven't even met the man and my husband and children are still chuckling at your pitiful attempt at bullying?Harrassment?Insult?Whatever it is you were trying to do...

You should try to get out more, meet more people. You might even find that people outside of your own narrow political 'bent' have something to offer your miniscule mind.

I met a fellow today who could live a life of considerable privilege and wealth, yet he travels two to three times a year to perform surgery voluntarily on some of the poorest and most marginalised people in the world. I don't know his politics and like AJ's, I don't care, I admire his compassion and his passion for what he does for others...for doing what he believes is right...for seeing a need and filling it, instead of wingeing about the politics of the guy over the road or across town.

As I have said before, I don't see much difference between you on the far left and those on the extreme right...you are so full of yourselves and so rigidly, rabidly rong...(wrong!) When people no longer recognise good in others and will trade the humanity of others for whatever political 'bent' they follow...they seriously need to widen their horizons...put simply...get a life!

Interesting thought, Pericles. I agree that something doesn't quite ring true about our Meg1, but would Gloria actually go so far as to pretend he's something he's not in a public forum...?

...oh hang on a minute, that's exactly what he's made his career out of, isn't it? Who knows, this being the Internet. In any case, our Meg1 'parrots' her idol well enough that we know that there's little point in trying to get some honest, rational debate out of her.

And of course we have her word that "AJ" wouldn't deign to read the comments of mere mortals like us in such a forum as this.

Good work Nancy...you've just proved my point beyond reasonable doubt...you're such a sad pair - Pericles and Nancy!

I see your mates have just sold out on another leftist policy today...more uranium mining on the worksheet, how long before ALL their policies are identical to the Lib/NPA?

Still feel like partying?

You might feel the need to voice your concerns on talk-back radio on Monday...like mere mortals. :)
