David wrote: Current Affairs show hosts have perfected "arrogant and disdainful" for decades, but you never heard this level of vitriol about Ray Martin or Naomi Robson. I just don't find it plausible that there's no racism or xenophobia in the way Aly and other people of his background are discussed on social media.
Kyle Sandilands is flog too, and he cops its on social media as much as Aly.
