Something is very wrong with that list. Tom Leykis is the opposite of the others, or did he repent?
Worried? all the way to the bank, and if this report is true then why is it that savage, which is on radio here this very moment has a bunch of commercials, I mean oy vey.
Look at the shows on TV and radio and tell me that sposor really give a damm in the end. Someone is kiddig themselves really. Imus is back o teh air ebcause he sells and has viewers.
If this is true, it raises the question of who actually is behind these advertisers and who are they accountable to; what do they base their investments on? Surely not ratings because it is doubtful that Limbaugh's audience would be offended by what he spoke. One could speculate that the advertising industry, like Hollywood, itself is dominated and controlled by the liberal left and special interest groups are behind the scenes pulling the strings. This concept is explained in a great book by Ben Shapiro called "Primetime Propaganda: The True Hollywood Story of How the Left Took Over Your TV." I recommend it highly. In any event, I think we will be seeing more and more supporters of truly free speech going to the Glenn Beck type of Video Network that is not dependent on the restrictions of the regular broadcasting media.
Wouldn't the advertisers be accountable to themselves? Maybe they are simply concerned that people who buy their products may stop buying them.
What is funny is it only appears the severely "left handed" are offended by all this nonsense yet left handers claim they never listen to these shows. How can they be offended?? LOL

Exactly. That is why it is ridiculous to believe that sponsors would be catering to potential lefty consumers.

They've got to latch onto ANYTHING that will divert attention away from the abysmal job Obama and his merry band of morons are doing getting the bus out of the ditch.

What's your meaning? Do you think sponsors only advertise on one show? Do you think people who are offended by Rush can't know of his sponsors unless they listen to his show? Or that his (former) sponsors don't also advertise on shows that have "lefty" consumers?

Sorry, I must have missed the Scooter, Living Will or Diabetes Testing commercials on Maher or Maddow.
Too funny. The notice is from the network that carries the shows. Not the shows themselves, not the mindless idiots who rant all day/night and lather themselves up w/ hate & vitriol, but the guys who airwaves they ride on.
Good luck convincing them it's just a nutjob piece that's not true and that it's not a BFD.
I just don't like the trend of money being used to silence free speech, hateful or not. I think corporations should advertise based on ratings not content, I suppose it's their right to vote with their dollars but I hope it doesn't result in media personalities being afraid to say what they feel anymore than it already does. This country is PC enough as is.
Not sure why people want to punish people they disagree with, I don't. This country would be crap if everyone agreed on everything.
