Web site blames Ellen for 'Idol' slump
HOLLYWOOD, (UPI) -- Christian Newswire is causing a stir with claims that freshman "American Idol" judge Ellen DeGeneres, who is gay, is responsible for the show's ratings slump.
"At this moment in entertainment history, network television is on a pro-homosexuality bender," Christian Newswire Director Gary McCullough wrote on the Web site.
"The producers of 'American Idol' chose to be a part of this push; it was a huge mistake. The consequences of this choice were a drop in market share and a reduction in advertising dollars ... it actually drives away a significant market share of parents and teens who used to watch the show together, until mom and dad decided that the subtle promotion of an 'alternate lifestyle' to their kids was not worth the entertainment trade off."
"Perhaps next we will see the pro-pedophilia group NAMBLA use its influence in Hollywood to have 'Dancing with the Stars' seat Roman Polanski as a judge."
In fact, ratings for "Idol" have been declining steadily with each successive season, and the 9 percent decline for Season 9 matches the decline from the previous season, The Hollywood Reporter said.
FOX's new show "Glee" -- one of the most gay-friendly programs in TV history -- is the highest-rated scripted show on TV today.
