Sky News host Cory Bernardi says a US podcasting conference has issued a “grovelling apology” for “having the audacity” to allow Ben Shapiro to attend.
“And apparently, he didn’t even speak at this conference, but his company simply took a booth, they paid for it, and he happened to drop by for a visit to his employees.
“Nevertheless, the conference felt the need to Tweet this: ‘those of you who called this ‘unacceptable’ are right’. “’In nine wonderful years growing and celebrating this medium, PM has made mistakes.

Ms Nielsen said there were many reactions on social media about how the podcast was “going to be so influential for young girls” before it came out. She said Ms Markle talked at length about the incident in South Africa where her son Archie narrowly avoided fire – but said the British attitude of “keep calm and carry on” was foreign to the American. “No one was hurt so they would have had that stiff upper lip, the British style, and moved on and not shamed their host,” Ms Nielsen said. “I’m guessing Kate and Wills would have dealt with stuff like that in the past and no one would ever hear about it.”
