Reference :- The war continues , with no end in sight .
We were having our Weet-Bix this morning when the conversation turned to the ghastly war .
" As the war becomes more desperate , the collateral damage is devastating ", Ken junior said .
" Those poor Ukrainians . ", I said .
" Not that war . I mean the war Fox is waging against Tucker Carlson . " , Ken junior said .
" How so ? " , I said .
" Fox News ratings have fallen off a cliff . Fox have leaked cherry picked video footage and spread rumors in an attempt to destroy Tucker Carlson's reputation , and all that has done is drive away their viewers . Meanwhile Tucker's fan base is growing faster than the interest charges on a credit card debt . " , Ken junior said .
" Well I guess he will never work again . " , I said .
" They say he has been offered 100 million dollars by a rival media company ", Ken junior said .
" Great merciful Odin , are we witnessing the collapse of the Murdoch media empire ? " , I said .
Gabbo suddenly made a strange remark .
" I certainly hope so . " , Gabbo said .
" What do the Sky News folk have to say about it ?' , I said .
" Absolutely nothing " , Ken junior said .
" Not even Andy Bolt ? " , I said
" He's going on extended leave. " , Gabbo said .
" What about Rowan Dean ? You can always rely on him to get to the truth . ", I said
" He's in trouble again with the media regulator for spreading misinformation . " , Ken junior said .
Anyway , we decided to check out last night's Sky News on that YouTube thing , and indeed , it was sad to watch .
It reminded me of the time a dingo broke into our chook pen and and was killing the chickens . The terrified flapping and clucking wasn't the same , of course , there was far more of that going on at the Sky News studios . Chris Kenny looked like he had an implant in his cheeks so he could sneer more alarmingly .
Fearing that they might suffer the same fate as Mr Carlson , the Sky News presenters described the possible first budget surplus in 15 years , as a disaster for the Labor Party . And the plans to cut living expenses for average Australians as a terrible cost to the taxpayer . It all had a weird " Emperor's new clothes " sycophancy about it .
All empires come to an end eventually , and the Murdoch empire's time might have come .
Nevertheless , The Sky Reply will continue to offer it's loyal support .
" I will stick with Sky News to the last . I will be their Charles Lightoller . " , I said
" Who on earth is Charles Lightholler " , Ken junior said .
" He was the 2nd officer of the Titanic who stayed on deck to the very last , loading the lifeboats . " I said
" I like that analogy . " , Gabbo said .
" The staying on board part ? ", I said .
" No. The sinking part . ", Gabbo said .
I wonder what he meant by that ?
Your comrade , Ken
