Alan Jones breaches broadcasting code

That great bastion of free speech and fairness, Alan Jones :shock:, has breached the broadcasting code by claiming ''human beings produce 0.001 per cent of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere'', the Australian Communications and Media Authority has found.
The authority found that this was presented as a statement of fact, it was not substantiated by the licensee and there was no evidence that reasonable efforts had been taken to ensure that it was reasonably supportable as being accurate, as required under the codes,'' the authority's chairman, Chris Chapman, said.
In other words it was BullShit by Jones and not corrected by him or the radio station. This is a continuing saga of disinformation and bullshit by radio station 2GB and it's presenters regarding the Gillard Government.
This station and presenters have been frothing at the mouth with rage since August 2010, when their white haired boy Tony Abbott could not negotiate with the Independents and Greens to claim Government. This station 2GB has been relentlessly negative towards the Gillard Government and it's policies since August 2010. 
I cannot remember in my whole life, a radio station so biased politically than this one. They are a disgrace.

2GB Cash for Comments

Radio station 2GB in Sydney have lost their case in the Federal Court regarding new rules requiring presenters to reveal, on air, the deals they and their employers have with advertisers.
Macquarie Radio (owners of 2GB) say that compliance with this rule is impossible and impinges on their freedom of speech.
Well you can thank those great bastions of freedom of speech and fairness (not) Alan Jones and John Laws for all of this with their disgraceful cash for comments imbroglio.
