I recommend the link, it shows shock jocks live also in Parliament house.
Could have posted a history ten posts long about scandals involving shock jocks, may yet post more.
But this is true, one very well known, got pre paid and trained listeners to ring in, even to abuse him!
To make it more interesting.
Another did just that,with a phone call saying some one was about to kill them selves.
No place to get your information shock jocks.

Rebutting my links usually starts with detracting the ABC or Fairfax as an untrustworthy source, [far too likely to be true?]
This links to the Australian.
I think its Worth a look.

Hahaha! belly, you're unbelievable. That last link is just showing you how out of touch you are with the salt of the earth Aussie. The only shocking going on here is your fear of the other side and how most ordinary people disagree with you. Be shocked, belly, because you have a lot to be fearful of with your attitude! The ideology you share with the other lefty nutters around here is unsustainable. When the day comes that you run out of other peoples money, is the day you'll truly be shocked! And that day is drawing nearer by the second under this incompetent bunch of lying ninkumpoops!

Dear Belly,
I think that the ego-ridden shock jocks imagine that they are clever, witty, and worse than that, they think that they are more clever than the average Joe on the street, they are only driven by the poor unfortunates that believe what they say. I cannot stand these Radio idiots that hide behind the microphone and deliver verbal diarrhoea that the poor unfortunates who cannot think for themselves actually believe what they are hearing. 'Tis beyond me.NSB

Noisy, I thought you liked the ABC. You've described that lot to a T.

I don't know much about these "shock jocks" you lefties all hate so much. I'd never listened to any of them until I became curious after listening to them being denigrated on the ABC.

Out of interest I tuned into John Laws, a couple of months before he retired, & could not find any of the stuff the lefties were bitching about.

I could only decide that most lefties never listened to him, & took their opinion on what ABC lefties had told them to think. Taking anything said on the ABC in the last 10 years as anything but propaganda is a big mistake.

This goes for those dreadful AM, The World Today, & PM. Listen for a few days & you can learn to set your watch by the subject being promoted. It goes like this daily. One pro green, one pro academia, one pro aboriginal, another pro green, one anti Abbott, one anti intervention, although this is interchangeable with one pro boat people, & one pro homosexual.

Listen for a couple of days, & you'll learn the time table.

RawMustard you have every right to your views, be careful however, in Ajay's thread and this one.
Not too deeply buried are what I see as threats, an inference for those who will look, that maybe heads one day, will be on sticks.
You will not find me talking to you again.
As always, posters wanting to understand my views about you, need only read your post history.
Shock jock, the term has many meanings,each of us has opinions and I think some have each of the ones I now list.
Shock jocks are actors, mostly rich their task is to bring listeners to hear the advertisements that fund to Media they work for.
Some will say they only channel public opinion.
Others will say they use like a truck uses oil, the disaffected of us, give and promote rash and rude statements from those unable to find other podiums their marginal views.
Some say they are honest folk being insulted by us Lefty's.
Other think like professional Wrestling its an act and the whole idea is to entertain.
Some, we know, are fixed one sided and use the podium to play a fixed and dirty game, promoting one side of politics.
Any one care to tell me our whole Media is not, more and more looking like shock jocks?
Continued.
