Alan Jones has been a stalwart of right-leaning Australian print, radio and television commentary in a career that has spanned more than four decades. Recently, it was announced that he would not be returning to his present slot at Sky News.

With the departure of Alan Jones, it is clear that another person is required to fill his shoes; somebody who is outspoken, confident and no stranger to controversy. Somebody who is unafraid of the mainstream media commentariat or Big Tech censorship.

Alex Jones is that man.

From an early career in public access television and radio, Alex Jones has grown his website InfoWars into a platform that receives as many monthly views as some mainstream news outlets. Through his commentary, particularly his coverage of the 2016 US presidential election and appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience, he has become a cultural icon. Despite lawsuits and social media deplatforming, he remains unbowed.

Alan Jones has had a long career replete with controversy, and we the undersigned insist that Sky News appoint Alex Jones as his successor.
