Stan Grant Takes Break from Australian News Following Racist Attacks

Australian news host Stan Grant has announced he is "stepping away for a while" and removing himself from the spotlight after receiving "grotesque racist abuse" following a broadcast where he spoke about the role and consequences of colonialism on Indigenous Australians. Grant slammed his bosses for offering no public support and the Australian media for bias. He received a standing ovation from the audience after mentioning the "poison" of the media and stated that he felt he was "part of the problem" and needed to ask himself how, or if, the media can do better.
