Rush Limbaugh Advertisers Death Spiral [View all]



Via Think Progress: "Radio-Info.com reports that Premiere Networks, which syndicates the Rush Limbaugh show, told its affiliate radio stations that they are suspending national advertising for two weeks...". This advertiser drop-off is in the wake of massive backlash after Rush called Georgetown student Sandra Fluke (a supporter of insurance providers covering birth control) a 'slut'. Also, Limbaugh doesn't seem to get it as evidenced by his referring to the "B-I-Itchy Opinion" of Washington Post reporter Alexandra Petri. The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down, including Limbaugh's fake ratings.
