A 7th advertiser pulls out of Limbaugh's show!

[yortsed snacilbuper]

ProFlowers said Sunday on its Facebook page that it has suspended advertising on Limbaugh's program because his comments about Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke "went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company."

1. I wonder if he will ignore all of this on his show, tomorrow

Or, will he actually offer a verbal apology. Ok, I'm just cracking myself up, now. More likely he will be lashing out.

I won't listen to his show, but will be watching to see if anyone else does, and posts what, if anything, he says about the situation.

3. I'm interested in how they are going to fill all the empty advertising slots.

Honestly I think he'll take the week off. This is a major crisis for his show, MUCH worse than his drug addiction/hearing loss episode.

2. Too late

their initial response was a pat on the head and a 'don't you worry about a thing little missy, we will continue to try to delight you with our services' It was really awful. At the very least they could have said they would be reviewing where their ad dollars go as I understand it many advertisers didn't even know their ads were on Rush's show, this is understandable. So, anyway they failed to understand the concern of their customers in a timely fashion.

4. finally

weren't they a long hold-out? I read someone's FB remarks, quoting ProFlowers, and sounded like they felt they were 'representing all types of Americans' in their outreach.

5. The network will fill the space with something at a very low rate.

It will be fun. I predict that after it sinks in he will take some time off.
Maybe rehab is in order.

6. I called them yesterday. The list of sponsors was on DU in several threads.

I wish more D Uers would make the effort to call while the heat is on.
