Rush advertiser lost mostly hype from the left

To LJ and all the leftist who were part of the smear campaign.

“Contrary to the wishful thinking of the professional special interest groups, reports of sponsors fleeing the ‘Rush Limbaugh Show’ are grossly exaggerated. In fact, the program retains virtually of all its long-term sponsors who continue to have great success” with the show, saidRachel Nelson, spokeswoman for Premiere.

Limbaugh’s recovering fortunes may be best exemplified by what hasn’t happened. At the peak of the controversy in early March, two small stations — in western Massachusetts and Hilo, Hawaii — said that they would drop his program. Since then, no other station has said it will take him off the air, dashing the hopes of MoveOn.org, a liberal group whose ongoing petition drive seeks Limbaugh’s removal from 180 stations.

Carusone said most of the advertiser exodus over the past month appeared to be among companies whose ads aired only in regional or local markets, he said. “Fewer than five” nationwide sponsors of the program actually pulled out, he said.

When the professional rumor mongers come out of the woodwork, you can be sure that the next sound you will hear will be lies, like the multiple threads on 285 Bound that were spreading the propaganda of hit groups like Move On.org.

Mainly wishful thinking....

Yeah, it's easy to see that it's all "liberal hype"... rofllol

Rush Limbaugh Advertiser Exodus Continues With Kohler Pulling Content
Posted: 03/26/2012 12:18 pm Updated: 03/26/2012 12:37 pm

Rush Limbaugh's advertising woes continue, as kitchen and bath fixtures company Kohler is the latest company to pull its content from the radio program.

On Monday, Kohler responded to pressure from customers who wanted to know if the company advertised on Limbaugh's program. Kohler tweeted that the company does not support Limbaugh's comments and pulled its advertisements from his show.

Limbaugh came under fire earlier this month after he attacked Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke for participating in a congressional hearing on insurance-covered contraception. Limbaugh called Fluke a "slut," and continued to attack her over the course of three days. After sparking significant outrage, Limbaugh issued a rare, public apology. Despite his statement, more than 100 advertisers have since pulled their content from his radio program and two stations have dropped his show.

Kohler joins in a long list of advertisers who have distanced themselves from the conservative talk radio host, including AOL, parent company of The Huffington Post. Last week, liberal media watchdog Media Matters launched an advertising campaign targeting Limbaugh and the radio stations that still carry his program. The group said that it plans to spend $100,000 on anti-Rush Limbaugh advertising.

I go with my source as I linked to it... The Washington Post.

Heard the last hour of El Rushbo yesterday. Doesn't sound too concerned and he even bashes the advertisers that left. I think he survives this no problem.

Even Don Imus had advertisers. There will always be those companies who want that audience of dittoheads.

"No one ever went bankrupt by overestimating the stupidity of [some] of the people." As long as there are bigots, racists, xenophobes, misogynists, homophobes, and sociopaths, he will have an audience. Some advertisers apparently don't mind being associated with that.

Some people don't agree with you. They are in business to make money. They are not that concerned with the politics. It's only bigots, racists, xenophobes, misogynists, homophobes, and sociopaths... otherwise know as Democrats who want to politicize everything to regardless if they abuse the people they claim to represent.

So, you're a Democrat?

Liberals will do anything to limit free speech. Conservatives don't boycott Keith Olbermann sponsors but.....he doesn't have any...and most likely the reason he doesn't have a show... he didn't have advertisers because he didn't have an audience.

If liberal ideas were strongly held by a large audience and there would be more liberal radio stations in the country - with advertisers. Liberals are intellectual free speech bullies who want others to believe that their message is strongly held. Sadly, just like their ideas, they are a minority with big mouths.
