Reference:- Sky News anchor , Peta Credlin , reminded us of the importance of small local newspapers .

Reference :-   According to Peta Credlin , local newspapers are finding it difficult to source newsprint at a reasonable price due to "supply chain difficulties ". 

Good morning Peta , 

                                     How nice to see you dressing colorfully again .  It must have been quite a shock to lose your sidekick Alan Jones  ( unfairly sacked  and rapidly forgotten ) , but a suitable mourning period has now passed and life must go on . 

Here at The Sky Reply we share your  concern about the shortage of affordable newsprint , for as you point out , local newspapers are indeed " the glue that holds local communities together " . 

If the few remaining local rags can't source enough newsprint these days , imagine how bad it would be if your boss (  Mr Murdoch Esq. ) hadn't closed down more than a hundred of them over the past few years .   That would mean over one hundred  more editors competing for a now scarce and expensive resource.  

Ken junior reckons the euphemism " supply chain difficulties " is quite the flavor of the month , and a convenient device for camouflaging a variety of harsh realities .  On the other hand , Gabbo reckons the most impressive euphemism of the times is  " create a no fly zone " , which he says is being used as a less alarming way of saying " start World War 111 " .   

But Peta , the trouble with the lads at The Sky Reply is that they tend to overthink things , which is why I appreciate your simplified black and white approach to the news .  Personally , I avoid the use of euphemisms myself , and prefer to simply say it like it is . 

Anyway , when you next see Alan Jones forward my regards , and let him know that I hope he is enjoying his latest career change opportunity .

Your comrade , Ken.
