Why did Nine fire Karl Stefanovic?

from The Daily Aus · host The Daily Aus

Last week, Channel Nine dropped Karl Stefanovic, one of its longest-standing TV hosts, over a podcast episode with a British far-right, anti-Islam activist. Stefanovic launched the podcast saying it was going to be “unfiltered and uncensored,” and while that might be the case, that doesn’t mean it is without consequences for his Australian media career. In today’s episode, we’ll explain why interviewing Tommy Robinson meant Karl lost his job at Nine. Hosts: Lucy Tassell and Emma GillespieProducer: Orla Maher Shot on Fujifilm.
