A California talk radio station, KOWL, has dropped hate radio hack Rush "Limpballs" Limbaugh from its roster, as reported by Media Matters. The station was clear about why Limpballs was dropped: his toxicity to advertisers. A statement from the station read, in part:
"Rush has repelled local, regional, and national advertisers from KOWL costing the stations [sic] thousands of dollars in advertisers…..advertisers would rather just avoid the whole station then [sic] take the risk of being associated with Rush's increasingly toxic brand." (emphasis added)Over the past few years, Limpballs' increasingly vicious act -- his mockery of Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's disease and his disgusting comments about law student Sandra Fluke, for example -- has driven away major advertisers, who know that his unfiltered rage against women and minorities -- indeed, against anyone not on the far-right fringe -- is bad for business.
