Reference :- Break open the popcorn , the Sky News anchors are trickling back from their holidays . Hopefully they found some pleasant location within our boarders to spend their spondula .
Peta , it's great to see the team back , and I hope you all had a nice break in some leafy part of the country free from fumes or conflagration. I see you are already interviewing each other , with an insightful segment with fellow anchor Rita Panahi to start the ball rolling . There has not been enough Sky News navel gazing lately , and how refreshing it is to see cutting edge journalists mirroring their own propaganda again . Likewise , interviews with cherry picked experts have been disappointingly rare of late , and thankfully I see that is about to change.
We haven't heard much about CO2 lately Peta , so thanks for reminding us that it is a colorless odorless gas , but do try to get the context right next time . Mr Albanese was referring to the fumes and soot choking the air when he said he could smell climate change . I have heard it whispered that he too knows the properties of CO2 , possibly from his primary school days .
Look , let me be frank . You got off to a poor start for 2020, but who hasn't ? Ask Mr Morrison how he feels . And Chris Kenny probably shouldn't have left the blocks . He launched his pugnacious style rather too earnestly in his first interview with Mr Frydenberg . Poor Josh , who seemed at first to be enthused by the prospect of a friendly natter with a political ally , became somewhat deflated as the interview progressed . Eventually he looked as though he might have taken too many valium to steady his nerves before arriving at the studio .
Anyway Peta , the short misleading headlines to grab our attention were reasonable , though not yet fully up to scratch . My son , Ken junior can't wait to see the experts you have lined up to refute climate change , and tell us that worse fires have happened before ,and that they are all the fault of the greenies . Sky News has always been particularly good at cherry picking their own "experts " , and flaunting their credentials , while simultaneously subjecting the bona fides of the remaining 99 % to ridicule . When your experts start rolling in , Ken junior says make sure you have dusted down the special rack you must have for resting aluminium foil hats .
And finally . Sometimes one is surprised to discover something missing from the daily grind that they failed to notice until it returned . In this instance , as Ken junior and his mates have pointed out , it is the comments by your many dedicated and astute fans . There is precious little in the way of comedy on the television set lately , so their return is appreciated . A quick perusal of some of today's efforts shows their quality is undiminished . It must make you proud .
We all look forward to another year of being told how to think by the anchors at Sky .
Your comrade , Ken
