Who Says We Don't Report Good News?!, Cont'd.

It was a little over a year ago that porcine pill-popper and Ayatollah of the Rethuglican/New Confederate Party Rush Limpballs launched a vicious, ugly attack on Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke for her support of contraceptives.  It caused an immediate backlash that saw dozens of advertisers flee Limpballs' hate radio program.

Now, Media Matters reports that advertisers are still avoiding Limpballs' rage fest. According to Cumulus Media CEO Lew Dickey in the Tom Taylor Newsletter,

"... there has been residual hangover on the talk side in terms of advertisers sitting out and not placing [ads with Limbaugh]...Clearly that's had an impact not only on our network business [at Cumulus Media Networks], but it's had an impact on some of the news talk stations that we own."

There's no reason anyone -- except perhaps gun manufacturers or the makers of OxyContin -- should ever advertise on such an extreme, hate-filled program.  Perhaps advertisers are finally taking stock of the downside of their association with Limpballs.
