Reality check: Idol beats leaders’ debates
Australian Idol beat the debate between Prime Minister John Howard and Opposition Leader Mark Latham in the battle for TV ratings last night.
Ratings figures released today show Network Ten’s Australian Idol won the 7.30pm timeslot nationally with 1.98 million viewers, with the debate coming in second with 1.47 million viewers.
Don’t expect me to take the moral highground; I was watching my Sopranos DVDs. Howard: “Vote for me and we’ll keep fighting the War on Terror!” Latham: “Vote for me and I’ll lower your taxes!” Spare me.
