A legal letter sent to Nine newspapers claims some journalists were green-eyed over Alan Jones’ rise to prominence, which has resulted in “demonstrably false” allegations in a series of articles over the past week.

In a concerns notice sent to the editors of the Nine Entertainment-owned The Sydney Morning Herald, and The Age, lawyer Mark O’Brien said the allegations made against Mr. Jones were false and had “no basis in fact.”
