Firstly, I wanted to say your magazine is the first I’ve subscribed to in quite some time, and the decision was certainly a good one. With reference to David Salter’s excellent article on the execrable Alan Jones, I have always applied a simple test to what I watch, or listen to. If one can actually feel one’s IQ getting lower during the process, then it is time to quickly move on in another direction. Jones’s show is slickly packaged advertainment dross – more or less the radio equivalent of 7’s Today Tonight, or 9’s A Current Affair. Low-brow, one-eyed, chest-beating, puerile, self-serving garbage. It is an insult to anyone with any intellect, and I applaud David for nailing this annoying and self-important little insect down on practically every count possible.
