A storm of controversy erupted after a recent cartoon published by Nine's newspapers sparked outrage. After a period of silence, the media company has issued an apology for the illustration, which was perceived by many as promoting antisemitism. But here's where it gets controversial: despite the apology, the cartoon remains visible on the news sites.
