Coles the latest brand to withdraw support from Alan Jones and 2GB
Coles is the latest brand to announce its withdrawal of advertising from Alan Jones’ breakfast program, and from the show’s radio network, 2GB.
Coles joins the list of advertisers which have withdrawn their support from Jones and the network, after he made comments on air that Prime Minister Scott Morrison should shove a sock down the throat of New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden.
Coles has withdrawn its support of Alan Jones and 2GB
In a statement provided to Mumbrella, a Coles spokesperson clarified that it stopped advertising on Jones’ program on the 16 August, the day after Jones made his comment, and had since stopped advertising on the network entirely.
How much more can be wrung out of this story?
Lots more. Until he is not even an unpleasant memory.
^^^ This.
When he gets kicked off the air for being a Git!
With great power comes great responsibility.
Jones isn’t stupid. He’s playing everyone for fools and knows the station will back him, after they play the game of publicly telling him off.
OK can we wrap this one up now please – booooring….
I’m with you. Should this statement have been made by the radical lefties then nothing would be said. I am about to boycot these businesses for hypocricy.
I don’t find it boring. Jones’ rhetoric has been unacceptable for way too long, and finally all the sponsors are growing a backbone. There’s a chance this could be it. This story needs to stay alive.
That comment was beyond offensive – shove a sock down her throat?
How sanctimonious of these businesses, especially Coles and Commonwealth Bank.
I am no longer a customer of Coles
They are not my social conscience
I am sick of this continuing war against Alan Jones, enough is enough.
And another advertiser who has pulled the pin on AJ is the accounting firm Kelly+Partners.
