Planet America cleared over Charlie Kirk complaintsABC Ombudsman rules Planet America unlikely to cause distress to Kirk’s family given it is primarily broadcast in Australia. ABC has cleared Planet America of viewer complaints over segments discussing the death of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk. During the segment, hosts discussed Mr Kirk, his political views over time, and the implications of his death for the USA. The 15 September episode included a segment about the heightened tensions between the American left and right since Mr Kirk’s death, which covered some of the same ground. But Ombudsman Fiona Cameron ruled that in addition to its newsworthiness, Planet America is primarily broadcast in Australia.
