The Media Monitors’ Top 20
|
Media Monitor’s Top 20 this week has Brendan Nelson managing a bare third of Cate’s Mate, but Julia Gillard has been displaced by Morris Iemma, whose efforts at trashing the ALP brand in NSW for a generation have earned him third spot. Zimbabwe and the Olympics have rocketed the suave Stephen Smith – the other man to wear a tie to the summit – into fifth. Poor Julie Bishop trails both Peter “hunt’n’peck” Costello and Australia’s youngest monarchist, Alexander Downer, as well as M Turnbull, phoning in from New York to snare sixth. But the biggest mover is Maxine McKew, swooping from nowhere into 17th, ahead of even Nats leader Warren “why is there no-one from Gippsland in this list” Truss. And no, we don’t know how she got there, except possibly by telling the Governance gang at the summit that they didn’t have any big ideas. Old journalist habits die hard.
Talkback Top Five It’s all Kevin, all the time.
And our celebrity control sample of the week: Blanchett big, Hugh not so huge.
