A discussion of contemporary issues in media ethics, with olives and a twist. Made with only the freshest ingredients, shaken, stirred and poured over ice. I should also mention that I do like the odd, occasional martini. Bombay Sapphire gin and Lillet, dry and plenty of salty olives. Welcome to this cocktail of journalism and alcohol. A fine combination!

Alan Jones - sincerity bypass successful!

Jones comments on Coates were 'honestly held' opinion. 04/05/2007. ABC News Online

Ah, Alan Jones, love him or hate him you've got to give the guy credit for two massive balls.
As the broadcaster of choice for a range of conservative causes he's never short of a topic to blag about, or a strawdog to kick.
Now he's in trouble for defaming one of Australia's leading sports administrators. He's going the "honest Al" route here claiming the comments were based on his sincere beliefs.
I'm sure the jury won't be fooled, this man had a sincerity bypass as a young man, the sincerity sac was replaced with giant money bags.
