Reference:- The news is all about numbers of late.

 Reference :-   After days of watching the vote count in the USA it was time to count a few numbers here in the Antipodes well.

Dear Murdoch media advocates with investigations pending , 

That sure was sad , watching President Trump get flogged in the election .  But the sadness doesn't end there .  It seems that savage disputes about the legitimacy of the result are fermenting .  Obviously they are fermenting in the community at large to some extent , but the worst stoushes are flaring in the hallowed halls of the Murdoch media emporium itself .   A shocking tear has appeared in the fabric of the conservative media as some journalists support Mr Trump's outlandish claims of counterfeit ballots , while others believe he should pack his golf clubs and quietly bugger off. 

Here in the usually warm family of Sky News down under there are tense and sometimes drunken moments as the professional opinion makers we have come to love confront their individual bitter disappointments .   These are indeed tough times , made worse by the fact that the share markets world wide have suddenly decided they quite like sleepy Joe Biden , the insane socialist , and share prices everywhere are steadily climbing .  Apparently "stability " imbues confidence for some reason .

Anyway , my advice is that you don't  dwell on all that , and instead return to discrediting the petition that was tabled today in Parliament calling for a Royal Commission into your own duplicitous pettifoggery. There are over half a million signatures on that petition and so far you have only found a few fake ones saying Donald Duck ,  or was it Mickey Mouse ? That hardly discredits the whole petition so you need to launch an attack on a different front .   Young Andy Bolt and Rowan Dean have been quite impressive with their declarations of war on China and fake Aborigines , so you have a ready made team for this attack .

Andy could assert that the petition was signed by half a million Marxists intent on destroying democracy.  Viewers are well aware that young Andy has a penchant for hyperbole after a few tipples , but then Rowan could assert that there were probably only 250,000 Marxists who all signed twice , since that sort of fraud is never checked .   It would be a good opportunity for Rowan and Andy to enjoy some conviviality after that recent awkward presentation they shared , which had Rowan looking like he desperately wanted to flip open his communicator and whisper " Beam me up Scotty ! "  

Although The Sky Reply team is not in a financial position to help restore the morale of the whole Murdoch media empire  , we can  at least offer a few words of encouragement  to our own hard working Sky News Australia anchors while they deal with the humiliation of their crushing  defeat .   Feel free to call us any time . 

Your comrade , Ken
