In a new low for Channel Nine, they have now sacked Karl Stefanovic from the Today Show after he interviewed Tommy Robinson on his podcast.
It has also been reported that bosses were unimpressed that he showed support for Ben Roberts-Smith in a social media post.
I’ll be speaking at CPAC Great Britain next month, where the Australia we know today was born.
I have always said we need to learn the lessons of other countries that are further down the path of multiculturalism and net-zero than we are.
We don’t have to make the same mistakes here in Australia.
She was once a familiar face on our screens in Neighbours, but now she's outspoken, opinionated and fired up.
Holly Valance has shifted her energy into supporting change in the UK, and wants to see the same in Australia.
She's on Karl Weekly tonight at 5pm.
It looks like they're trying to sack my good friend Karl Stefanovic for this video with Tommy Robinson!
Deb Knight was a huge flop for Channel 9 and while she was busy grilling me over One Nation’s polling Channel 9's ratings were in the toilet.
In 2019 on live TV with her, I called on Channel 9 to bring back Karl.
Now with 6 months to go on his contract the weak management of Channel 9 want to sack Karl over this interview.
Tommy Robinson has a lesson for Australians. If we don’t learn from the UK’s mistakes on immigration and radical Islam, we are going to face the same destruction.
This is exactly what Karl was trying to bring to Australia’s attention.
Have Channel 9 become just as bad as the ABC? Watch the full interview: https://t.co/5H9wL9YzwI
This has Albo's fingerprints all over it.
Good on Karl. He didn't do anything wrong he simply exercised his right to free speech.
Then they wonder why independent journalists and podcasts are taking off.
People are tired of the red tape, gatekeepers, and being told what they can and can't say.
@karlstefanovic
The thing is, @Channel9 (who don't seem to maintain an X feed anymore) were fools to give @karlstefanovic a contract that basically let him run a competing podcast. Even so, Karlos should be free to interview whoever he wants - controversial figures included. Where he stuffed up is failing to draw any line between professional and doofus. Plus he's not very original.
Leaving Tommy Robinson's controversial life of debt, grift and fraud aside, Tommy Robinson's rhetorical style centres on a consistent martyr/victimhood narrative that fuses personal authenticity with calculated escalation. He draws on genuine working-class grievances and documented problems like grooming gangs and integration failures that authorities long ignored, then rapidly expands and reframes them into broader narratives of systemic betrayal and existential threat - fresh proof of a two-tier system or establishment conspiracy out to silence ordinary people. Emotional language, leading questions, selective examples, and sharp us-versus-them framing keep the audience in a state of justified outrage, turning criticism or setbacks into validation of his role as truth-teller while sustaining supporter loyalty and crowdfunding.
Karl Stefanovic's interview - just the next in a very long line of Tommy Robinson interviews - didn't break through any of this. It stayed comfortably inside the persecuted truth-teller loop with yawnworthy praise for Robinson’s "tenacity" and "courage," unchallenged repetition of familiar themes, and no real push on contradictions or patterns, so it added nothing new and simply fed the same cycle.
Now he's copping reports of sacking, months of lost money, and brand damage for it.
How pathetic that Channel 9 has dumped Karl Stefanovic from @TheTodayShow over the Tommy Robinson podcast. Commercial media in this country do not support free speech unless it suits them & seek to censor anyone with a different point of view

Karl Stefanovic tried for a cheap, sensationalist gotcha by telling Jim Chalmers "you'll both go down together," (referring to him and Albo)
Jim just casually brushed it off and stuck to the CPT policy changes. Stick to interviewing cookers on your podcast, Karl.

@home838 Stop making a fool of yourself. Pauline doesn't have a racist bone in her body. Simple as that. It isn't racist to call out radical Islam nor is it racist to not want multiculturalism. Furthermore, it isn't racist to have a say who comes into this country. So stop your crying.
