Reference :- How long can Sky News ignore the terrifying pachyderm in the room . Part 1 .

Reference :-   And no , we don't mean the fact that it is currently 47.8 degrees centigrade in Siberia .  Although Sky news is ignoring that too . ( Rowan Dean where are you ? Isn't that something  a weather boy should report ? )

Dear purveyors of news that matters  ,

 What's going on in the hallowed halls of the Murdoch media ?  Your feared enemy , comedian Jordan Shanks , is being sued by that charismatic chap John Barilaro . ( You have probably heard of Mr Barilaro  . He is the deputy premier of NSW. )  Why are you not sinking the journalistic boot into young Jordan Shanks while he is down ?  This is not a story you should be ignoring . 

Here at The Sky Reply we have been discussing the roaring loudness of your silence about this issue .  Ken junior reckons that Sky News is scared of young Jordie because he has eviscerated your reporters so many times .  And indeed , you have suffered terrible carnage . In particular , nobody can bear to watch Chris Kenny trying to respond to his own humiliation by Jordie .   It is like watching that scene in Monty Python where the Black Knight keeps fighting and believes he can win even when both his arms and legs have been hacked off .  ( Though the Chris thing was much sadder, and obviously Chris was far less likely to win  than the Black Knight . )

But Chris , you must take courage , and seize this opportunity . Jordie's latest video has scored over one million views .  If you respond , one million viewers will likely click on that response .  Just think , one million views Chris !    That will get your average up  , and surely keep you off the dole queue for a bit longer .  I reckon you might  need a bigger desk to conceal your tumescence if you score a million views . 

 And Chris , you don't need to make it a lengthy retort .  Research is not your strong suit . Just your trademark short sneering rebuke with no substance at all will do the trick , and those million views are yours .   Make sure you include the word " alarmist " in your riposte ,  preferably while smiling condescendingly . This always shows that you represent the calm and sensible side of the discussion .

  Now Chris Kenny is armed for battle.  But the team here has identified another possible reason for Sky News'  reluctance to touch the Jordie story with the figurative ten foot barge pole.   

Stay tuned for Part 2 in this gripping Sky Reply mini-series . 

Your comrade , Ken .
