I agree with you and go even further. I hope that the Chris Master's expose will pull the barking, big man up like a choker chain, making a defining pause that will birth a truly big man (with humility).
Bold stuff, this writing and commenting on the powerful big Al. Was going to opt for the anonymous tag then decided "what the heck, sign in as usual" - but Orble wouldn't let me log in so I took it as a sign to go anon anyway.
Is it bold, hahah?
It's just my opinion, surely I'm entitled to it, no one can stop that, can they? I hope not... I'm under the impression that this country still has free speech. For the moment, anyway.
I've written worse about Jones before, but it wasn't on the internet so I guess it doesn't count hahahaha.
I never met a Shock Jock I could bring my self to like. Alan Jones was just one of the worst. But if the book has to bring up such issues to discredit him, what does that say about the author?
The thing is, I don't think the author is really seeking to discredit him via his sexuality. The addressing of his homosexuality is something the author simply felt couldn't be omitted whilst remaining truthful about certain events in Jones' life.
If (and I say 'if' because I haven't read it, I've only read an interview with the author) the author *is* trying to discredit him it's solely through the documentation of his grubby power-broking with various Australian politicians and law enforcement officials and Jones' apparent belief that his word is higher than the mechanisms of Australian law.

interesting interview, conducted just a day or two ago.
alan jones seems a bit like that al pacino character in angels in america . . . he spouts alot of conservative opinion and is power hungry because hes internally homophobic and fears the public thinking "fag = weak" . . . denying his sexuality just prevents young gay people from using him as a positive role model, if i were him i wouldve been proud to be gay and achieve so much, not be snivelling around in the closet ashamed . . . i know hes from a different generation where it wouldve been more difficult when he was young, but right now in this day and age with his current social position i dont know why hes not a champion of the queer community . . . i totally agree with you when you say you hope the book educates his right-wing listeners! excellent blog!

All I can say is that Jones is a manipulative hypocrite.
