NSW: Alan Jones blasts ruling by radio regulator

Sydney radio personality ALAN JONES has blasted the radio regulator .. over a ruling
about comments made on his program.

The Australian Communication and Media Authority found the comment incited violence
and vilified people of Middle Eastern descent.

During his program on Sydney's 2GB Radio today .. JONES said the authority's findings
were biased .. and based on complaints from people who don't listen to his show.

JONES says he's never incited violence on his program.







The broadcaster says the people who made the original complaints only heard excerpts
aired by an ABC broadcast.

And he says the ABC also provided information to its listeners on how to make a complaint
to ACMA.
