The BBC reports:
Former Australian Labor Party leader Mark Latham has been fired from his political chat show by Sky News Australia after a series of controversial remarks. His recent comments about women in the media and schoolchildren proved too much for the broadcaster. He had questioned a 15-year-old boy’s sexuality and attacked fellow presenters on air. Latham has long been accused of making misogynistic and sexist comments.
Sky News Australia’s CEO Angelos Frangopoulos said he had informed Latham his contract as presenter of Outsiders was being terminated immediately. “While we support strong opinions and robust arguments, we pride ourselves in doing so in a civil and respectful manner,” he tweeted. To his supporters, Latham is a plain-speaking opponent of political correctness. His detractors regard him as an unacceptable mouthpiece for outdated, misogynistic and homophobic attitudes.
The boy attacked by Latham had taken part in a video in which more than a dozen boys read feminist quotes written by women. And the teen is a male feminist, obviously something is fishy about his sexuality. Latham, you’ll be shocked to learn, enthusiastically endorsed Donald Trump last year. (Note his Twitter user name.) Under his leadership, the Labor Party was defeated by John Howard in 2004.
Why does bigoted Left assume use of word “gay” automatically negative? I love gays! Away from poisonous Left politics they are great people

Outrage industry totally confected: no reaction to Outsiders as it aired, yet 2-3 weeks later reheating BS offenderati. Complete fraud.

Within two months Outsiders became second most popular show at Sky, in awkward time slot, so many thanks to loyal viewers who love anti-PC

Stick with the Outsiders ideal of fighting PC, identity fascism and cultural Marxism in our institutions. Just the beginning.

Sky execs gave Outsiders every encouragement, always urging us on (love ratings), so thanks for everything, up to point of thrown under bus
