Hollywood Reporter: A Christian news site is making headlines by claiming Ellen DeGeneres is responsible for the ratings erosion of Fox's "American Idol."
Christian Newswire director Gary McCullough says the sexual orientation of the newest "Idol" judge was the reason "Idol" ratings were down about 9% this season.
Or because Idol had contestants so bad even regular idol viewers had to tune out.
i would think this is the last thing that would hurt the ratings.
