Reference :- Sky News anchor Chris Kenny has lost interest in the California wildfires .

Reference:-   The wildfires in California have so far destroyed a record area of over 6,250 square miles .  And the season is far from over . 

Well Chris , it looks like your story claiming that the current California wildfires are normal was a tad premature .  They are already twice the size of the previous record , although that record was set way back in 2018. 

I can see why you would avoid the topic now , since it does appear at first glance that you were breathtakingly wrong .   But Chris , there is a spin you can use to save face on this occasion . 

 Why not say you were claiming that   "   record wildfires " are not unprecedented in California ?  You would be on firm ground with that claim , since 17 of the 20 worst wildfires on record have occurred in the last 20 years . 

 You could say something like this :-    "  What I meant was that record wildfires are hardly unprecedented in California , they have them all the time , and the last record wildfire was only a couple of years ago . "    That will silence your critics Chris , and you could use the same technique to make light of the record heatwaves . 

 And don't forget to include your trademark condescending sneer , for added emphasis . 

 Although it's not your style , you may like to pass this tip of Gabbo's along to your comrade at Sky News , Rowan Dean .  As you know Rowan regularly pads out a boring segment with music from his youth . The California fires are a great opportunity for him run a segment blaming arsonists , and finish by playing the Jose Feliciano song   " Light my fire ".   I am sure Rowan could do something creative with the lyrics , especially the clever rhyming of  " fire " with   "liar " .

Since you have been slipping in the ratings lately , you can tell Rowan it was your own idea , and Gabbo has promised to keep his  mouth shut .  He says it's always  a pleasure to help out . 

Your comrade , Ken .
