Reference:- The Sky News Anchors are losing popularity , so we have decided to help.

Reference :-  It saddens us to watch Sky News sink in a quagmire of irrelevance  . But we have an idea to boost their morale , and have sent a letter .

 Dear purveyors of news that matters and opinions we can trust ,

 The sullen faces of the Sky News Anchors have touched our hearts here at The Sky Reply .  So we have decided to create an award for you , which might put a smile on your miserable chops .  ( That's a smile fellow professionals  , not a cruel laugh  . )
We believe the backbone of Sky News is a kind of spinal fusion of five leaders in critical thinking .Chris Kenny , Rowan Dean , Andy Bolt,  Peta Credlin and young Paul ( the bogan ) Murray .    Our marketing guru here at the Sky Reply has taken the first letter of their christian names and created a new journalism award ,  the annual CRAPP  award for television journalism .


We envisage a gala affair at the old Boy Scouts Hut here in Kooralya , to be followed by a BBQ down by the creek.    Ken junior is sending  a telegram to Sir Les Patterson offering him the role of MC , and it should be a pleasure for him to  present you with the annual CRAPP award  .  We have promised to cover Sir Les's bus fare , and my mate Trevor  can put him up for the night . Trevor has cleaned up his sleepout  and put fresh newspaper in the outhouse so his stay there will be comfortable .

Though clearly we are the one's helping you through a grim patch , we don't feel smug about it at all, and are well aware that it will be an honor to host such a celebrated group of the nation's opinion makers .   It goes without saying that you can stay with us here , at The Sky Reply .  You can use the showers at the Scout Hut , but bring your own soap. ( We had to stop supplying soap in the showers because the boys kept dropping it all the time .) 

We have two spare rooms ,  but we are short a bed , so some  of you will have to bunk out in the same bed, sharing style .  Obviously nobody would have the slightest interest in sharing with Peta Credlin , especially in the winter , so we leave it to the boys to figure out those arrangements .  Ken junior reckons a democratic way to decide would be to give Paul Murray a bed of his own , since he is a big boned fellow and the other chaps are probably more comfortable not sharing with another male who has big bones .    The others could draw straws for who snuggles up with Chris Kenny , since he has a rather comforting warmth to his personality , don't you think ?

Anyway it's up to you , and as far as we are concerned what goes on at the Kooralya gala award night  stays at the Kooralya gala award night .   Are you with me ?

I probably shouldn't say too much , but Monte ( the motorcyclist ) has made the award by welding up a few surplus parts from his vintage motorbike collection .    He got the idea from watching your guests , who he reckons look like the gay revellers from the Rocky Horror Picture Show .
He was quite inspired , and has welded together a rather grand affair made from old cranks , cracked pots and a few nuts that were off their rocker .

 It looks rather like a hammer and a sickle , as a tribute to your dedication to the proletariat . 

The lad has a gift for symbolism .     We can't wait to see you here  . 

Your comrade , Ken

PS .    I wouldn't trouble Sir Les for his autograph if I was you .
