Update on Sponsors Pulling Ads from Rush Limbaugh's Radio Show

3/3/2012

3 Comments

 
In the wake of his intensely offensive blather last week, Rush Limbaugh discovered that while he was talking, his money was walking. 

So far, active Limbaugh sponsors pulling their ads from Limbaugh's radio show include Sleep Train, Select Comfort, and Quicken Loans.  Other companies that have advertised with Limbaugh in the past or were erroneously named as sponsors hastened to correct these errors or distance themselves.  These include Lending Tree, eHarmony, Auto Zone, and Life Quotes.

I'm posting this immediately to clarify where these companies stand, and will add updates as they come in.  For a great overview of the whole Sandra Fluke/Rush Limbaugh story, click on this Politico blog post by Dylan Byers.  Look for my additional commentary on the whole story later this weekend, including a look at the reactions of President Obama and the Republican presidential candidates. 



I posted this graphic on my facebook page Friday, but wanted to share the updated information and clarifications I was able to glean from the news today.  Of course, the sentiment of the post is the same!

Stay tuned for more updates as this story evolves!

I think I've seen this story somewhere! Didn't most of his sponsors pull back from his radio show after that comment? Boy Oh boy!

Still the Top Radio Program ever. And why in the world do people expect other people to buy their birth control for them.
