A NYT editorial has slammed Goldman Sachs for its role in the financial crisis, Ten must work out what to do with Australian Idol in 2010, how the media downturn will affect higher education, newsreaders get emo, and more.
The Media Monitors’ Top 20
|
Number 5 with a bullet! From nowhere, Troy Buswell writhes orgiastically into the top five in the Media Monitors Crikey Political Index. Thank goodness he boycotted the 2020 summit - poor bloke would have OD’d on 500+ chairs. Morris Iemma’s Labor conference electrocution is enough to beat Wayne Swan, preparing for his close-up, into third spot, and both have pushed Brendan “every mother loves her baby” Nelson down to 4th. Garrett and Wong (can someone convince them to make a buddy cop movie, please?) have also taken a tumble, but Crikey’s favourite razor-wielder Lindsay Tanner has rocketed a buttock-bruising six places into the top 20. And here’s a challenge for Crikey readers — why does Stephen Smith have so many internet mentions when his stats would otherwise confine him to the obscurity of the high teens? Is there a www.suaveforeignminister.com site we don’t know about?
