So that’s it. Nine newspapers are now reporting that Nine News has axed Karl Stefanovic over his interview with Tommy Robinson and, unbelievably, his support for Ben Roberts-Smith. A veteran Australian broadcaster interviews a controversial figure, says something the corporate media class doesn’t like, and suddenly the suits move in. These are not the actions of a news organisation that should champion free speech. They are the actions of an out of control corporate media giant. Nine wants Australians to watch its programs, read its papers, trust its “news” and swallow its moral lectures. But when one of its own steps outside the approved script, they throw him overboard to keep the activists, advertisers and newsroom commissars happy. Fine. The CitizenGO campaign to stop Nine from sacking Karl Stefanovic will now morph into a major boycott movement. We will be calling on Australians to boycott Nine. We will be calling on political leaders to haul Nine’s bosses into the spotlight, grilling them in parliament on why they’ve made this decision. And we will be calling for Nine’s free-to-air broadcast licence to be pulled. If Nine wants to behave like a censorious corporate bully, then it should not enjoy the privilege of broadcasting into Australian homes on publicly-controlled spectrum. Nine’s bosses need to hear this loud and clear: We won’t be watching. We won’t be reading. We won’t be clicking. And we won’t be rewarding this gutless corporate cancellation machine with our attention ever again. BOYCOTT NINE.
