Reference :- Plebeian Sky news presenter Chris Smith appears sad and confused .

,

Reference :-  Without the bluster of his comrades to propel him , Chris Smith  has become directionless. 

Well Chris , you can hardly be expected to take the helm of Sky News after your short stint at the bottom of their journalistic peck order .  You did the right thing when you said nothing about the storming  of the Capitol Building by far right Trump supporters .  But you failed to project a sanguine demeanor .  In fact you appeared confused , even afraid .    You won't keep your job for long unless you can remain calm when your chosen messiah behaves like a total knobhead .   It happens so often that you need to be skilled at maintaining a brave face . 

Which brings me to another total knobhead you recently praised , Mr Nigel Farage .  You showed us some video footage of Mr Farage  bragging about his success in delivering Brexit to the pommies . 

"When I started the Bexit campaign 17 years ago everybody laughed at me , but they are not laughing now "  Mr Farage said . 

 He is certainly correct about nobody laughing now .  It looks like Brexit will cost the UK around twice what the Covid pandemic is likely to cost .  And that's only if efforts to limit " Brexit damage " are successful . Brexit was sold as a pathway to prosperity , so it does seem odd that all the talk these days is focused on limiting economic damage .  

 Anyway Chris , maybe you could run a few presentations highlighting Mr Farage's latest project . He has lost interest in Brexit now , having done all the hard work painting signs on buses and so forth . Obviously it's up to the public service to deal with any minor details that need tidying .  Currently Mr Farage  wants to start a political party that opposes lockdowns for the fake Covid pandemic .   The UK is breaking new records for  Covid infections and deaths on a daily basis at present , so I thought that he might be starting his run a bit early with an anti-lockdown party .  But Ken junior tells me there are plenty of folk who don't believe there is a pandemic , just as there were plenty of folk who thought that Brexit would improve their lives .

 The Covid deniers deserve a voice , and it is magnanimous of Mr Farage to provide one for them .... at least while they can still breathe . 

  Your comrade ,  Ken . 

Reference:- The conservative media are lying low at present .

 Reference :-   Have the Sky News anchors thrown in the towel ?  Perhaps they need some encouragement from their leader , Mr Rupert Murdoch .  The Sky Reply has written to Mr Murdoch requesting his assistance . 

Dear most powerful media mogul in the history of the world , 

We understand that you must be a very busy man , and probably only have time to read the Sky Reply on an irregular basis .  We take no offense at that , of course .  Nonetheless we feel a duty to inform you of the shabby performance of your news anchors here down under , on your native soil . 

To be fair , they have had a lousy year . They have wrongly assessed almost every issue they chose to probe over the past annum .  And the more important  the issue , the worse their prognostications have been . 

To make matters worse , your media empire has been accused of promoting falsehoods and deception, thus spreading  propaganda which ultimately favours the prosperity of the elite .  There have been calls for a Royal Commission into the media , which is the last thing your news anchors need while their morale is low . 

When you have time , you should look at the banner headlines Sky News Australia was running when your key presenters took flight .    Most of them are laughingly ridiculous , but my son , Ken junior , reckons one of Peta Credlin's deserves special mention .   

"  The climate cult wants to destroy our livelihoods . "  ( You have to admit , it is hilarious . )

We haven't heard from Peta since , and I fear that shameful effort destroyed what little remained of her confidence . 

Andy Bolt has shot through to what he calls " the bush ".  ( Obviously he has never visited us here in Kooralya , so we can excuse him for calling an outer suburb of Melbourne " the bush ". )   Hopefully he is drying out , although he did mention that he was taking his whiskey with him . 

Chris Kenny became so obsessed with his war against the taxpayer funded ABC that he lost all ability to analyse current affairs . Even his most ardent fans have been  turning away . 

Rowan Dean and Paul Murray lost heart when their hero  Mr Trump lost the Presidential Election .  They seem reluctant to comment about the recent unpleasantness at the Capitol Building  that Mr Trump fermented  . 

Alan Jones has isolated himself after telling us there is no Covid  pandemic . Jonesie hates being wrong , and might have a bad case of the sulks . 

Anyway , Mr Murdoch ,  my point is that Sky News Australia  needs your help.  If there was another way to spread propaganda without resorting to lies and distortions , somebody would have found it by now .  So you are stuck with those as your only weapons .   But lies and distortions have a way of eventually floating to the surface . You need a strategy for such occasions so that your team doesn't become despondent.

Accordingly , the lads here at the Sky Reply are prepared to offer themselves as representatives of any leftie cause , or experts in any field of science , so your news anchors can interview them while they deliberately chuck the debate  .  That should restore the confidence of your team .  Since we hear you are not short of a quid ,  we would charge a small fee to cover our overheads .  It is in our best interests to see Sky News prosper , otherwise where does that leave The Sky Reply ? 

Your comrade , Ken, 

 P.S.  Our contributing editor , Gabbo  ( the aborigine ) , says he isn't interested in your filthy lucre , but that still leaves three of us . 

 

 

Reference :- Oops. Trump supporters have been naughty.

 Reference :-  One can always rely on Sky News to attack  " the crazy left " , even when far right extremists try to stage a coup. 

Well done ladies and gentleman. You have outdone yourselves this time . As we watched Trump supporters sporting Viking helmets and bear skin capes trash the hallowed halls of democracy I kept wondering how Sky News could turn such atrocities into an opportunity to bad mouth " the left ".   But  you managed to do so with ease , and without a leftie to be seen as far right Trump supporters trashed the Capitol Building .    " Look at the chaos " , you said ,  " And the crazy left want to defund the police !"  (They don't really  , but it is an assertion that has served you well in the past .)    As the video footage rolled I heard Monte mutter  " The bloody stupid left ,  Jesus Christ ! "    As I said , that was an inspired effort.     Your comrade  , Ken 

 

 

 

 

 

Reference :- The roll out of the Covid vaccine in the USA is progressing slowly .

Reference :-   There are long queues of folk waiting at inoculation centres in the USA . 

 

 Many of the elderly and the ill in the USA are being forced to queue for hours to get the first of their Covid shots .  Some  look as though they are risking a heart attack or worse as they struggle to keep their position in the line up.  The social distancing rules look slack .  One would hope that nobody in the queue is getting their shot a tad too late , and has become a superspreader . 

Likewise one would hope that nobody suffers a coronary thrombosis after standing in a queue for three hours .  

Being inoculated does look like a risky business .  Especially in a fake pandemic . 

Ken junior reckons that it's not just the pandemic that is fake . He reckons he has seen those queues of old  folk in the news before , and  they were actually lining up to get into a Neil Diamond concert .  I told him that was ridiculous . Nobody would queue for hours just to see a Neil Diamond concert .  

Now if he had said it was a Val Doonican  concert .......that I would believe . 

Your comrade , Ken .

Reference :- So this is how we spent New Year's Eve in Kooralya.

 Reference :-   With no Covid about , the folk in Kooralya had a whoop up for New Year's Eve . 

 

The band was in fine form .  Ken junior played  drums, Monte played  bass , and Gabbo played keyboard , saxophone , lead guitar and didgeridoo.   Often at the same time .  The old Scout Hut was decorated for the occasion , and the ladies  auxiliary did a fine job with the catering  . We only charged 8 quid a ticket , as  it was BYO .  But for that you got a dinner of beef strogonoff with rice , and  one of those little creme caramels in a plastic cup for dessert .  That doesn't sound very exotic , but we prefer to stick with strictly Australian tucker for reasons of cultural loyalty .

Gabbo is very talented on the keyboard . He puts on dark sunglasses to do his Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles tributes .    And he wears a red bandana for the Jimi Hendrix songs .  At midnight he did a Jimi Hendix version of Auld Lang Syne , very like Jimi's version of The Star Spangled Banner .  

We can't afford fireworks , but true to tradition we turned off all the lights and went down by the creek to look at all the stars .  Gabbo knows his constellations , and he pointed at the brightest star in the sky and told us it was Sirius . Sirius , Gabbo told us, is  also called the Dog Star , since it is part of the constellation Canis Major , or The Big Dog . 

" Hey Dog , that star is named after you ! "   Gabbo said . 

Dog grinned and wagged his tail appreciatively . 

Later while we were washing the dishes and locking up the Scout Hut , Gabbo told us it takes light almost 9 years to get from Sirius to us . 

" Sure does make you think . "    said Gabbo . 

"  It makes me think they send it by Australia Post . "    said Monte . 

  Anyway , Dog sure didn't take 9 years to finish off the left over strogonoff while our backs were turned . 

Your comrade , Ken . 

 

 

 

Reference :- Reference : Will Sky News offer us their considered opinions ever again ?

 Reference :-   It is very quiet at Sky News lately . 

Normally we relish the nightly display of feisty fact fudging and childish commentary on Sky News . But a restrained atmosphere pervades their studios at present .  What has happened ? 

Ken junior blames Covid .  After a year of declaring it a fake pandemic , Sky News has to face the fact that the annoying little pathogen is responsible for  more waves than roll up Malibu Beach on a windy day . 

Gabbo reckons it is because , after spending the year accusing  " the left "  ( whoever they are ) of inciting civil unrest , Sky News is unsure how to react to President Trump's call for a "wild " protest to be staged in Washington .  Especially since armed militia groups will be protesting . 

Monte reckons that Sky News has simply lost what little popularity it  may have enjoyed .   Rather like a posturing loud mouth at a party who was amusing briefly , but has outstayed their  welcome . 

Personally , I think they might be feeling sheepish about stirring hostilities with China .  Perhaps our leading market manager and Prime Minister , Mr Morrison has told them to shut up before we can no longer sell the Chinese so much as a solitary opal bracelet .  

Or is there more to that call for an inquiry into the Media ?   

Regardless of the reason , the Sky News anchors currently project the demeanor of a chap nervously leaving a poker table with a pocket full of mazuma before anybody discovers he was cheating . 

It is very disappointing . 

Your comrade , Ken 

 

Reference:- Sky News is itching for a war with China.

 Reference :-   Although their key anchors are on holidays ,  Sky News is still keen to start a war with China.  

Holy Cow you guys . I would have thought your current war with the taxpayer funded ABC was enough to keep you busy . Yet you are fearlessly inviting a war with China .  Fighting wars on two fronts might stretch your resources .  I mentioned this to Ken junior.

"  Sky News has decided to incite war against  the communists "   I said . 

" I knew that . They have been trying to shut down the ABC for years. "  Ken junior said . 

 " I don't mean the ABC communists  . I mean the  ones in China " , I said

 Ken junior agreed that starting a war with China is a bad idea. 

"   Confucius say man without nuclear capability should not make war ." ,  Ken junior said.

 " Confucius couldn't have said that. ", I said .

"  I updated the quote ." , Ken junior said

"  So what is the real quote ? " I said . 

" Confucius say man very foolish who incite war without  plutonium enrichment centrifuge "  , Ken junior said.

I think he might be right. 

Your comrade , Ken.
