In reply to the discussion: EXCLUSIVE: 141 Companies Drop Advertising From Rush Limbaugh [View all]Botany
(70,490 posts)11. 2 things .... just my thoughts
1) I think many companies have been looking for a reason to dump Rush for
a long time now.
b) Rush's audience size might be much smaller than what he has been saying for years
and that Rush's negative numbers from women must have scared off many sponsors.
Women control a huge % of the nation's economy and purchase decisions and even
after the "Ms. Fluke Problem" Rush has continued to attack women by calling them
babe or going after an author* calling her "an over educated single white women."
