Reference:- Although it is a terrible thing , one can't stop watching the war whenever it features on the news . I refer , of course , to the ugly war between Sky host , Chris Kenny , and Paul Barry of the ABC .
Dear Chris ,
War is indeed an awful thing to witness. And if the old saying " The first casualty of war is the truth " remains valid , then the second casualty of war must surely be a chap's dignity . This war you are waging against the ABC ... sorry , I mean the " taxpayer funded ABC " , is getting out of hand , and you are making a fool of yourself . And what is worse , your comrades at Sky News are following your lead .
One couldn't turn the tele on recently without hearing you , or one of the Sky News team quote the famous ( now sadly cliched ) line from Dorothea Mackellar' s poem .... " Of drought and flooding rains " .
The poem is masterfully written , and I encourage folk to read all it's verses in order to dilute the stench of cliche that the media has bestowed upon it .
Imagine how the 23 year old Ms Mackellar might have felt had she been told that in a future century her poem would be used to refute the findings of thousands of climate scientists in order to promote the interests of coal mining tycoons . Horrified I should think .
Anyway , once again the lads at The Sky Reply couldn't stop laughing as you accused Paul Barry of not providing any scientific evidence of climate change , while supporting your own argument with lines written by a 23 year old poet more than a century ago .
For the love of God Chris , surely you can do better than that ?
Your comrade , Ken .
