‘Absolute nonsense’: Why Peter Ford has labelled Gayle King an ‘idiot’

Entertainment reporter Peter Ford has gone off on journalist Gayle King after the Blue Origin “celebrity stunt”, which saw the likes of King and pop star Katy Perry launched into space earlier this week.

Ford said there’s been “incredible backlash” to the stunt, and honed in on how King interpreted the moment, labelling her an “idiot”.

“It’s nonsense, absolute nonsense,” Ford said on 3AW Breakfast.
