Reference :- Sky News is ignoring the California wildfires .

 Reference :-  Apart from a lukewarm effort by bellicose presenter Chris Kenny , Sky News has had little to say about California's heatwaves and fires .  

 Dear  award winning journalists with unique and exclusive insights , 

 Ignoring the California fires has further diminished your audience on YouTube .  There is nothing like a blazing inferno to capture the attention of viewers , and you are missing a great opportunity .  The lads at The Sky Reply  have compiled the following list of useful strategies you could employ . They will allow you to recapture your lost audience without surrendering ground to the climate change fraternity . 

1.   When mention in made of " record temperatures "   find a place where it was hotter last year and use this to discredit the notion that the heatwave is unprecedented .   The beauty of this strategy is that you only need one place to be cooler than it was last year , and you can distract attention from dozens of places that are hotter . In the banking  sector this is known as " leverage " , and has proven itself to be a flawless instrument among the many tools of high finance . 

2.   Review a grim forecast  for this year's fire season from months ago , which overestimated the current extent of the fires .  Then point out that the fires are not as bad as the leftie doomsayers predicted . 

3.  Find a group who might  benefit from the disaster , and accuse them of fearmongering .  Jonesie did that rather well when he said that the health care industry is making a fortune out of unnecessary Covid testing . 

4.  For an expert opinion , consult a self appointed conservative think tank with an impressive sounding moniker featuring the word " institute ". 

5.  Search the archives for a mistaken comment by a respected scientist who accidentally spoke out of context , and later tried to correct it .  And force  them to own it . 

6. You could mention that attributing the fires to 20,000 lightning strikes is ridiculous .  Fires are started by disgruntled lefties , and California is famous for having millions of such idiots . 

 Don't forget to use assumptive metaphors and loaded language .  ( e.g "crazy greenies intent on destroying democracy"  rather than  "ecologists" )

Futhermore , when snookered by unhelpful facts , the usefulness of rude personal remarks and bald -faced lies should not be underrated .

 We hope this has restored your confidence , and look forward to some spectacular wildfire coverage in the near future .   Try to run a story soon , towering flames are far more exciting than ashes . 

Your comrade , Ken .
