His mother and stepfather did an oral history project for the University of South Dakota while staying in two adjoining motel rooms in Hill City, South Dakota, interviewing the men who built Mount Rushmore.

In May 2013, Karl was caught in a controversy when he wrote an article that claimed to quote directly from an email sent by a White House advisor. It was later revealed that the quote was inaccurately given to Karl by an unnamed source, and that he himself had never seen the email. Karl apologized for the error, and also for not having stated that the quote was from a detailed summary his source provided, rather than a direct quote from the email.
