Reference:- Although we are not citizens of Victoria, here at The Sky Reply we will be keenly watching the results of tomorrow's election .
Dear Sky News team ,
You have worked yourselves ragged over the last few weeks , trying to overthrow the current Labor government in Victoria . And good on you . What is the point of a news service if it can't overthrow a government ? Ken junior has accused you of spreading anti- labor " propaganda" . But so what ? He said that as though he believes propaganda to be a bad thing . I am sure you have read the tome by the chap most praised for the invention of propaganda , Edward Bernays . ( His book bears the catchy title " Propaganda " . )
Mr Bernays was at great pains to explain that propaganda can be a force for good when used correctly . Lies and manipulation , or distortions and omissions are not themselves unethical as long as they are used to achieve a worthwhile and ethical goal . I explained this to Ken junior , but the lad is too naive to understand .
Anyway , I do like the way Rowan Dean has been giving the false impression that Daniel Andrews hates the Jews . This is always a severe blow to a chap's credibility , a blow best delivered at the eleventh hour so nobody has time to check the facts . It worked very well when Sky News wanted to discredit that pommie chap who was running for Prime Minister in Old Blighty , Mr Jeremy Corbyn .
Of course it turned out that the chief Rabbi ( who is Jewish himself ) over there thought Mr Corbyn was a thorough gentleman , but nobody heard about it until after the election . And the point is , that one minor fib helped get Mr Johnson into Number 10 ( briefly ) , so who could object ? And to those who do feel a tad miffed , I would say what I said to Ken junior .
" Once the election was over Mr Corbyn was cleared of antisemitism , so no harm done ." , I said .
Anyway , regarding Mr Andrews , personally I don't know enough to have an opinion one way or another , but if you don't succeed in getting him thrown out of office it will be a sad day for Sky News , and an even sadder day for democracy .
After your failures supporting Mr Trump , Mr Morrison , and Mr Johnson you are overdue for a win . It's about time a political leader was chosen by the likes of Sky News , and not the great unwashed who are so easily manipulated .
Your comrade , Ken
