Today Show’s Karl Stefanovic calls for boycott of Daily Mail
The Today Show’s Karl Stefanovic has slammed The Daily Mail for judging, criticising and mocking Australian women and implying men and women can’t work together without something untoward happening.
The publication however has doubled down and said Stefanovic’s on-air “meltdown” marks the end of a “controversial week” for the star.

Daily Mail – bottom of the barrel, click-bait driven gutter trash…..
If the political elites had some backbone the common people who buy the DailyMail wouldn’t need to encourage their voice.
12 cans of Bundy and a rented caravan – he sure does know how to treat a lady!
Good to see Karl speaking out for his colleagues.
There are also many other people and groups in our community (from LGBTIQ to ethnic groups to welfare recipients) who are targeted by parts of our media. Often they don’t have a person to speak out on their behalf and a mass platform to speak through.
It is these groups where the UK’s Stop Funding Hate – mentioned at the base of your article – focusses, as I discussed with them in a podcast a month or so back. Thought the podcast replay may be of interest – https://www.spreaker.com/user/mediascope/mediascope-live-with-richard-wilson-jenn_1
Denise, nice attempt to muscle your agenda in where it wasn’t requested.
Karl’s attempt to ban the Mail is ridiculous. If they’ve crossed the line and printed untruths, he should sue them and if they’re found guilty, they deserve all they get. But banning media organisations because they print stuff we don’t like and using his own platform to do so, is not conducive with the freedoms of speech and the press that we all hold dear
you have to take the rough with the smooth and Karl would do better to pull his head in
Who gives a crap about Karl. Our morning show hosts are as stale as a bag of old Special K. Once the cereal is left open for too long, one should pop to the supermarket or ideally somewhere more organic and get a fresh bowl that won’t give us gastro or otherwise ruin the day. 🙂
Is drinking Bundy rum and coke illegal now? Has ISIS taken over? How about Karl is sentenced to a public flogging for this travesty? The journalists I know are amongst the keenest imbibers I have met. Why are they willing to record perfectly normal activities – like enjoying a few drinks – as some sort of lewd act deserving of public shaming?
