Broadcaster Alan Jones, no stranger to the nation's defamation courts, is embroiled in yet another case. This time of his own instigation.

His "retirement" from the 2GB Mornings slot in May – his show now runs four nights a week on Sky News – prompted dozens of retrospectives across much of the media. But one tribute, by SBS's youth-focused current affairs program The Feed, defamed him by its portrayal of him as a racist, a misogynist, a liar, and a paedophile. Or so Jones alleges, in a statement of claim filed in Sydney's Federal Court.
