The Daily Telegraph has reportedly dropped Alan Jone’s regular column following his controversial anti-vaccination and anti-lockdown messaging.
Jones has weekly columns in The Daily Telegraph on Thursdays, and also publishes a column for The Australian’s sports pages on Fridays. Jones also has his own show on Sky News.
News Corp’s Sydney paper informed Jones it was ending the column because it no longer resonated with readers, according to reports in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Speaking to the SMH, Jones confirmed he was no longer publishing his column in the Daily Telegraph.
“If the argument has been it’s not resonating, I don’t have to defend myself,” Jones told the SMH.
“Have a look at Sky News YouTube, Sky News Facebook and Alan Jones Facebook and you can see. The same column that I write for the Tele goes up on my Facebook page.
“The public can check it for themselves. Thirty-five years at top of the radio and I don’t resonate with the public? Honestly.”
