The Sacking of Karl Stefanovic: A Symptom of the Media's Far Right Problem The recent sacking of Karl Stefanovic from his hosting duties on Nine's Today show, followed by the cancellation of his joint radio program The Long Weekend with Eddie McGuire, has sparked widespread debate about the role of far right ideology in mainstream media.
On the surface, this appears to be a case of a high profile host losing his job due to controversy, but scratch beneath and you'll find a more complex issue at play.
The sacking is closely tied to Stefanovic's decision to interview Tommy Robinson, a British far right figure with a history of inciting hate speech.
