OPINION, May 24 /Christian Newswire/ -- Gary McCullough (LINK (http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/3842913998.html))

On Friday the top story from Billboard, the world's premier music publication, was,  "Can 'American Idol' Be Saved?"  While renewal talks continue with FOX, excuses for the show's decline have been widespread.  This season's new judge, Ellen DeGeneres, is the recipient of a good deal of the blame for the rating drop, but not for the glaringly obvious reason: Miss DeGeneres is a lesbian activist.

In January, I wrote, "I am confident that the producers of American Idol will be shocked when their market share has cratered, and will in all honesty find a dozen other reasons for the drop in ratings.  After all, what successful television producer could have a clue what wholesomeness is as long as they see promoting homosexuality as a virtue."

OMG!!! Ellen is a lesbian activist???  :o  Do all the fans of her highly successful talk show know this?  Surely, once this news gets out, her ratings will drop and her show will be canceled!

And to think, there are people who read this ridiculous propaganda and believe it.  The religious right (who are neither) make another stab at promoting prejudice, encouraging discrimination and fueling bigotry. 

What would Jesus do?

I doubt Jesus would watch Fox for one thing.  Heck, I can't even see him having cable.
