Reference :- Pugnacious Sky News anchor , Chris Kenny , told us that almost nobody wants a Royal Commission into the Media .

Reference :-  To paraphrase  the author of " The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy " , Douglas Adams ,  " This must be a new usage of the word ' nobody ' with which I am not familiar  ".   

Top of the morning to you Chris .   As you say " the ABC , green left politicians and News Corp's media competitors are eager for a Royal Commission into the media ".   No argument there , but you suggested that nobody else was interested , which is not entirely correct .  If you check out the government web site you will find that well over half a million concerned citizens have also signed the petition .   Not quite nobody Chris .   The petition is one of the most strongly supported of all time , and by far the most strongly supported in recent years . 

Don't feel bad about being spectacularly wrong , you are the kind of man who readily admits his mistakes , and I have told the lads here at The Sky Reply that you had not intended to mislead anybody . 

Anyway , here's a tip.  Since the Murdoch media empire is so powerful , why not get Rupert to parley with Mr Morrison ( preferably on an untappable phone ) and have the whole call for an inquiry scuttled   . It wouldn't be hard , and Sky News could reinforce Mr Morrison's position by stating that "nobody "wanted taxpayers money wasted on another incompetent inquiry administered by overpaid bureaucrats .  

There is no cause for concern with all this Chris ,  the petition is "mostly harmless " so "don't panic" . 

Your comrade , Ken
