Young people clearly don't know what a shock-jock is. Kirk was nothing new. His opinions were nothing we haven't heard from talk-back radio hosts for 50 years. They all said outrageous things for attention and money, radicalising their audience with no care for the consequences. Platforming rage baiting radio hosts has been Rupert Murdoch's main source of income for decades. Shock jocks have always been sad, egotistical, right-wing losers. Their listeners are even sadder.
