Aboriginal TV host steps down after horrendous abuse

[Infinite Chaos]

One of Australia's highest-profile TV hosts, Stan Grant, has stood down from presenting a prime-time show after receiving "relentless" racist abuse.
Grant said he had always endured racism in his career but it had escalated after he covered the King's Coronation for national broadcaster ABC.
The veteran Aboriginal journalist had spoken during the coverage about the impact of colonisation on his people.

Stan Grant: Top Australian TV host steps down after enduring racist abuse

High-profile Aboriginal journalist Stan Grant says he has "had enough" of receiving racist abuse.

The man was put into an impossible position when asked to cover the coronation for Australia - does he gloss over the history of marginalisation of his people and fawn over a King who has little to no interest or relevance to Australia or does he speak some uncomfortable truths about Australia's history.

Having seen some of Sky News Australia's channels and comments on those channels in the last 10 years, I'm going to make a not so wild guess and suggest the knuckle-draggers tend to be Murdoch customers.

Trouble is that murdoch owns around 60% of the australian news media. And they are not the only ones trying to hide what is being done to the indigenous of australia.
